Research suggests there’s compelling evidence that growing up in poverty negatively impacts early childhood brain development, resulting in lower academic achievement and diminishing long-term health outcomes. On today’s show, learn about research investigating the neuroscience of poverty. We’ll also discover a clinical trial that’s testing an experimental drug for treating a kidney disease. And later, we’ll focus our CTSI on efforts to address disparities in food access and food security in our community. Come discover with us, inside this edition of CTSI Discovery Radio!
