| summary | Does neuroscience have anything useful to contribute to our understanding of poverty and its harmful effects? Early work indicates that it may, despite the very different concepts appropriate for describing poverty or socioeconomic status more generally (income, educational attainment, and occupational status) and the brain (regions, networks, and neurotransmitters). To assess the prospects for fruitful interdisciplinary integration, I will first take you on a flyby of recent work on the neuroscience of socioeconomic status, sampling the questions that have been asked and the answers that are emerging. I will then consider the potential policy implications of this work, as well as scientific challenges and limitations and the worries expressed by some concerning reductionism and victim-blaming. |
