Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

New paper out today in PNAS 🎉 demonstrating:
1) an association between social disadvantage & child brain function can be observed as early as birth
2) these alterations are brain-wide, but most pronounced in functional networks & subcortex later linked to childhood adversity
