Background• Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered
brain development. – Grey matter: reduced volume in the hippocampus and prefrontal
cortex (for review see Johnson et al, 2016).
– White matter: reduced white matter integrity in the right parahippocampal cingulum and right superior corticostriate tract (Ursache& Noble, 2016)
• DTI assesses Fractional Anisotropy (FA) of white matter tracts in which greater values indicated more integrity (mature) white matter.
• However, little is known about which aspects of socioeconomic disadvantage are associated with white matter development in a specific developmental period.
![Page 3: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What are possible pathways between family income and white matter integrity?
• Children in families experiencing low income, more exposure to:
Physical stressors: NoiseCrowdingPoor Housing Quality
Psychosocial risk factors: Family turmoilViolence (in home or in neighborhood)Family separation
• Additionally it is likely these stressors are co-occurring and have an additive effect on child development
• Conceptualized as the Cumulative Risk Model (Burchinal, Roberts, Hooper, & Zeisel, 2000; Evans, 2003; Evans & Kim, 2010; Evans, Li, & Whipple, 2013; Felner et al., 1995; Greenberg et al., 1999; Herrenkohl, Herrenkohl, & Egolf, 2003).
• Cumulative risk has been a stress pathway of interest in other studies interested in allostatic load (Evans, 2003), gray matter volume (Evans et al., 2015), and brain function (Kim et al.,
2013; Evans et al., 2015); however the relationship with white matter integrity is unclear.
![Page 4: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The uncinate fasciculus UF - emotion regulation (Ladouceur et al., 2015).
The cingulum bundle CB - cognitive functions including executive functioning and attentional control (Schermuly et al., 2010)
The superior longitudinal fasciculus SLF - working memory (Vestergaard et al., 2011) and language (Mandonnet, Nouet, Gatignol, Capelle, & Duffau, 2007).
Children growing up in families experiencing low family income show differences in emotion regulation (Raver et al., 2016), executive control (Ursache et al., 2015), working memory (Farah et al., 2006), and language (Perkins et al., 2013).

Hypotheses• Lower family income would be associated with lower integrity in the
white matter tracts involved in executive function and emotion regulation including the uncinate fasciculus (UF), cingulum bundle (CB), and superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF).
• Lower family income would be associated with higher levels of cumulative risk exposure, which would further be associated with lower integrity in these tracts.

Discussion
We provide evidence of a relationship between family income and structural connectivity across several white matter tracts in the brain. These tracts are involved in a multitude of cognitive and affective processes.
An identical whole-brain model for maternal education revealed no significant results.
Cumulative risk exposure was inversely structural integrity across several white matter tracts involved in multiple neurocognitive processes. Limitations: the Indirect effect model was not significant due to a relatively
small sample.
More comprehensive picture of cumulative risk and the brain: grey matter, functional activity, and structural connectivity
Future direction: The prospective associations among socioeconomic disadvantages, white matter development, and cognitive and emotional outcomes.

White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk
![Page 16: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is currently known about family income and white matter integrity?
• In adulthood, lower SES (income) was associated with reduced FA in the uncinate fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus, corona radiata, and pontine crossing tract
• Adiposity, smoking, and CRP partially mediated these relationships
• Other studies have found no relationship between income and FA, specifically in childhood (Jednorog et al., 2012).
![Page 17: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Participants and Measures• 31 healthy children from ages 8-10 participated in the
study
• Comprised of a home visit and a MRI scan visit
• Family income was measured using income-to-needs ratio (accounts for family size)
• Cumulative risk measured based up previous studies (Evans & Kim, 2007, 2012; Evans et al., 2007; Evans et al., 2013; Kim et al., 2013).

Cumulative Risk Scores for the Sample
![Page 19: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why should we care about white matter?• White matter makes up over half of the tissue in the brain
(Fields, 2010).
• The major white matter tracts undergo significant development in childhood (Paus et al., 2009; Schmithorst et al., 2002), therefore may be susceptible to environmental influence.
• Maturation of white matter in childhood has been associated with increases in cognitive functioning (Mabbott, Noseworthy, Bouffet,
Laughlin, & Rockel, 2006; Nagy, Westerberg, & Klingberg, 2004), language development (Urger et al., 2015; Wong, Chandrasekaran, Garibaldi, & Wong, 2011), and emotion regulation (Versace et al., 2015).
• Children in families experiencing low income have shown lower performance in these domains (Hackman et al., 2010; Raver et al., 2017).
![Page 20: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Limitations of the Present Study
Measurement of family income was based upon the last 12 months, did not measure income since birth
Results need to be replicated in larger sample
Study was cross-sectional
Our study focused on stress risk factors, future studies need to considered such as exposure to toxins (Gray et al., 2013), nutritional deprivation (Kant et al., 2013), and lack of cognitive stimulation (Lipina et al., 2013)
![Page 21: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Other Fiber Tracts?
Fornix: major output fiber of the hippocampus, involved in memory (Gaffan, 1974)
Superior longitudinal fasciculus: connects frontal lobe to parieto-temporal association areas (Makris et al., 2005)
SLF is implicated in both language processing (Mandonnet et al., 2007) and working memory (Vestergaard et al., 2011)
Both of these domains have been linked to reduced performance in children experiencing low family income (Hackman & Farah, 2009; Hackman et al., 2010)
Body of the corpus callosum (major hemispheric connection)
![Page 22: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Future Studies
Examine if cumulative risk mediates the relationship between family income and integrity using a voxel-wise mediation model
Extend the current findings to include measurements of mood (internalizing symptoms) or social/emotional information behavioral perfomance
Further examination of the UF and CB using deterministic tractography and examine FA along the fiber tracts
![Page 23: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DTI Processing
DWI data was acquired with 71 directions and corrected for eddy currents and motion (4 participants excluded)
A diffusion tensor model was fit at each voxel and FA images for each participant and standardized into FMRIB58_FA standard space FA template
![Page 24: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Calculating Cumulative Risk
• For each of the 6 domains, risk is defined dichotomously as risk or no-risk (0 or 1)
• Participants are given a score of 1 for each domain if their value is in the top quartile of the sample (Evans & Cassells, 2014; Evans, Fuller-Rowell, & Doan, 2012; Evans & Kim, 2012; Wells, Evans, Beavis, & Ong, 2010)
• Total cumulative risk is measured by summing the values for each domain (0-6)
![Page 25: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Measuring Cumulative Risk• Uses 6 environmental risk factors (scores range from 0
to 6 in which 6 indicates the highest levels of exposure)
• 3 physical risk factors: Crowding: divide number of individuals living in the
household by the number of rooms (including bathrooms)
Noise (Leq): assessed using a decibel meter in primary social space for 2 hours (during home visit)
Housing quality: assessed by researcher using a standardized scale (Evans, Wells, Chan, & Salzman, 2000); measures structural defects, maintenance, cleanliness
![Page 26: Family Income, White Matter Integrity and Cumulative Risk … · 2017-06-16 · Background • Socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with altered brain development. – Grey](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02daa87e708231d40656e6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
