6000 días más: evidencia neurocientífica acerca del impacto de la pobreza infantil

Neuroscientific study on child poverty carried out by several research groups over the last two decades has allowed us to gather evidence showing that the impact of material and symbolic needs from poverty, may from the onset limit opportunities of development and social inclusion of people throughout their life cycle. Nevertheless, the potential shift inherent to neural plasticity, individual differences, and the potential change of self-regulatory development by means of environment intervention (i.e., family, school, and community) also show that impacts are not the same for every child, that there is no critical period for cognitive development and learning competencies that is limited to the first 1,000 days, that irreversibility of poverty impact is not a fact that affects every child exposed to it, and that poverty does not necessary means developmental deficit.
