La pobreza y el desarrollo del cerebro

Así se desprende de un estudio publicado por el medio especializado Jama Pediatrics , que cita como factores influyentes el estrés, la escasa estimulación y la nutrición. El trabajo fue elaborado por científicos de las Universidad de Michigan, Duke y Wisconsin (Estados Unidos), quienes analizaron el desarrollo cerebral de un grupo de niños a partir de resonancias magnéticas realizadas a lo largo de su infancia. Descubrieron así que la materia gris del cerebro era sensiblemente menos desarrollada en los niños y niñas pobres.

De hecho, precisaron que la materia gris del lóbulo frontal, el lóbulo temporal y el hipocampo era hasta un 10 por ciento menor en los pequeños criados por debajo del umbral de pobreza de Estados Unidos.

And with good reason: the thesis sentence is typically that one sentence in the paper with the potential to assert, control, and structure the entire argument. Without a strong, thoughtful thesis or claim, a paper might seem unfocused.

Sometimes you'll encounter differences not only from discipline to discipline, but also from course to course. The_dress_and_the_llamas_no_the_media_isn_t_going_overboard.
