Poverty CAN harm development, but your OP implies it WILL, which will be used as an excuse to write off kids who grow up poor. Is it wrong that kids grow up in poverty? It 100% is. Should we do something about it? We should. But the brains of poor kids can also be ok.

Human 'molecular map' contributes to the understanding of disease mechanisms

Scientists have created an intricate molecular map of the human body and its complex physiological processes based on the analysis of thousands of molecules in blood, urine and saliva samples from 391 volunteers. The data was integrated to create a powerful, interactive visual web-based tool called Connecting Omics (COmics) that can be used to investigate the complex molecular make-up of humans and discover underlying traits associated with various diseases.

Mouse spontaneous #behavior reflects #IndividualVariation rather than #estrous state

#OpenAccess

"These findings suggest underlying functional #stability to the circuits that support exploration in female mice, reveal a surprising degree of specificity in individual behavior, and provide empirical support for the #inclusion of both #sexes in #experiments querying spontaneous behaviors"

Mouse spontaneous behavior reflects individual variation rather than estrous state

Levy et al. track open-field behavior of female mice over weeks and find that behavior reflects individual identity far more than estrous state. Open-field exploration patterns in males are much more variable than in females, arguing for the inclusion of both sexes in studies of spontaneous behaviors.
