UO brain research, led by Helen Neville's team in the Brain Development Lab, has landed in a lengthy news feature in both the print and online editions of National Geographic magazine.

The article, headlined Baby Brains, looks at research being done around the world on how poverty affects the development of human brains. The UO research that was highlighted involved an eight-week intervention program that Neville's team did with 141 preschoolers in a Head Start program and their parents. The findings were covered in a UO news release in 2013.

"When you change parenting and stress level goes down, that leads to increased emotional regulation and better cognition for the kids,” Neville, the UO's Robert and Beverly Lewis Endowed Chair in psychology, said in National Geographic.
