-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Neuroscientists are digging into a worrying link between polluted air and children’s brain wiring
Different sources of fine particle air pollution show distinct, subtle links to how the developing brains of children communicate, according to new nationwide research published in Journal of Environmental Psychology. Particles from traffic, coal burning, and agricultural fertilizers were each tied to their own patterns of connectivity in networks involved in sensory processing and higher-order thinking. The findings offer early evidence that where air pollution comes from may matter, not just how much of it children breathe.
Outdoor air pollution contains fine particulate matter, commonly known as PM2.5, which consists of airborne particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers across. Because these specks are tiny enough to inhale deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, they may reach the brain.
The brain coordinates its activities through large-scale functional networks, which are collections of brain regions in different locations whose activity tends to rise and fall together. Researchers can measure this synchrony with brain scans that track changes in blood flow while a person lies still and rests. During childhood and the transition into adolescence, these communication channels continue to reorganize as youth develop adult reasoning, sensory integration, and emotional control.
Past research has linked outdoor air pollution to differences in these communication patterns. In a 2023 longitudinal study, members of the team behind the new research used data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, a large national project following thousands of American youth. They found that children with higher exposure to fine particles and other pollutants showed differences in how their resting brain networks matured across early adolescence. Additionally, a study covered by PsyPost in 2023 found that briefly breathing diesel exhaust in a controlled experiment temporarily weakened connectivity within the default mode network, a set of regions most active during mind-wandering and self-reflection, in adults.
Fine particulate matter is not a single chemical substance, but rather a complex blend created by both natural processes and human activities. Addressing this complexity, a 2024 study by members of the same team, using data from the same national project, found that specific chemical ingredients and pollution sources had varying relationships with children’s memory and thinking skills. The new study uses the six pollution sources identified in that work. The investigation was led by Katherine L. Bottenhorn of the University of Southern California and Florida International University and Megan M. Herting of the University of Southern California.
For the new study, the authors again drew on data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, which spans 21 research sites across the country. Data from one site were dropped because of hardware problems, leaving 20 sites for the cross-sectional analysis; the longitudinal analysis was limited to the 12 sites that used the same brand of scanner. The researchers analyzed brain scans from 6,291 children who were between 9 and 11 years old, as well as a subset of 1,972 participants scanned on consistent magnetic resonance imaging equipment roughly two years later, between ages 11 and 13.
The participants’ resting-state brain activity was recorded while they relaxed with their eyes open. The scientists mapped interactions among 12 functional networks, encompassing primary sensory networks like vision and hearing, attention circuits, and higher-order systems. The salience network helps flag important events and shift attention, while the cingulo-opercular network, described here as a cognitive-control network, helps keep attention on a task.
The team used annual air quality models tied to each child’s home address to estimate their exposure to 15 chemical components of air pollution during 2016. By grouping these chemicals mathematically, the authors estimated exposure to six primary sources: crustal materials (such as soil and dust), ammonium sulfates (largely from coal combustion), biomass burning (such as wood smoke and wildfires), traffic emissions, ammonium nitrates (often linked to agricultural fertilizers), and industrial fuel combustion.
The researchers applied a machine learning method called connectome-based predictive modeling to identify connectivity patterns related to each pollution source. To see if the results could generalize across the country, the scientists trained models using participants from all study sites except one, and then tested how well that model predicted pollution levels for children living at the held-out site. The analyses adjusted for several potential confounding variables, including household income, race and ethnicity, perceived neighborhood safety, neighborhood population density, distance to major roads, urbanicity, physical activity, screen time, scanner hardware, and head movement inside the scanner.
The cross-sectional analysis at ages 9 to 11 identified consistent links between specific pollution sources and connectivity across sensory and motor networks. Greater exposure to traffic emissions related to weaker functional communication between visual and mouth-related motor networks, as well as between auditory and cognitive-control circuits. In contrast, higher exposure to ammonium sulfates was linked to stronger communication between sensory systems and higher-order cognitive networks, including the default mode network. Crustal materials, industrial fuel burning, and total particulate matter were each tied to a handful of sensory and attention-related connections, while biomass burning showed no consistent pattern at ages 9 to 11.
Higher-order networks, which are involved in introspective thought, stimulus processing, and, according to some researchers, vulnerability to mental health problems, were also tied to specific pollution sources. Exposure to ammonium nitrates was associated with stronger communication between salience and cognitive-control networks, but weaker communication within memory networks and between attention networks and other networks.
Over the following two years, the researchers found consistent patterns of change linked to three sources. Higher traffic exposure was tied to increasing connectivity over time between hand-movement networks and attention-related areas, but decreasing connectivity between auditory and cognitive-control networks. Higher biomass burning exposure was linked to increasing connectivity among attention-related networks, and higher ammonium sulfate exposure to weakening connectivity between an attention network and a hand-movement network, while crustal materials, ammonium nitrates, industrial fuel burning, and total particulate matter showed no consistent pattern of change.
Despite identifying consistent connections in the training data, the connectivity patterns accounted for less than 1 percent of the variation in children’s exposure at ages 9 to 11, and no more than about 2 percent for changes over time. When tested on children from held-out study sites, the models performed no better, and often worse, than simply guessing the average exposure. Prediction errors were largest at sites in the western United States and at sites where exposure levels varied more from child to child.
The authors concluded that, after accounting for other factors, these pollution sources likely play only a small role in differences in brain connectivity between children, and that the links may not apply to youth in other regions. They also note that the patterns for biomass burning and ammonium sulfates held up best across sites, while those for crustal materials and traffic emissions deserve more caution.
The findings are in line with a study covered by PsyPost earlier this year, which found that young teenagers exposed to elevated particulate pollution showed less brain network maturation over two years, though that previous research evaluated an overall brain maturity score rather than connectivity across specific functional networks and distinct pollution sources.
“This is an important and timely topic, and the paper complements a growing body of evidence that children’s physical environments in general, and air pollution exposure in particular, are associated with their neural and cognitive development,” said Monica Rosenberg, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, director of the Cognition, Attention, and Brain Lab, and a co-developer of the brain-modeling technique used in the study, who was not involved in the research.
“The longitudinal aspect of this work is unique and is a major strength—the authors didn’t just show associations between brain networks and pollution at a single time point but found that pollution predicts developmental trajectories of networks,” Rosenberg told PsyPost.
There are a few things to keep in mind when interpreting these findings. The study used observational data and statistical associations, meaning it cannot establish that breathing these specific particles directly caused the observed network differences. Because the research took place across many regions with varying environmental mixtures, local factors that were unmeasured might account for some of the geographic discrepancies.
The authors also did not apply a statistical correction for the many connections they tested at once, so some of the identified links could be false positives, and the analysis was exploratory, with no advance predictions about which networks would be affected. Because each study site used scanners from a single manufacturer, differences between regions cannot be fully separated from differences in scanning equipment.
Rosenberg noted that the geographic inconsistency represents an important caveat for understanding the results. “One caveat is that the primary predictive models did not successfully generalize across sites, meaning that associations between brain network patterns and air pollution were inconsistent across geographic locations,” she said. “In addition to the thorough analyses presented in the paper, it would be interesting to test whether the observed brain changes were associated with cognitive and/or attentional performance since the implications of neural changes alone aren’t always clear.”
Another caveat involves how exposure was measured. The researchers assigned air pollution levels based on each child’s home address during a single year, which does not capture personal daily habits such as indoor air filtration, ventilation, daily travel routes, or time spent exercising outdoors. In addition, the participants in this nationwide study were somewhat more likely to come from higher-income and non-Hispanic white households than the national average, and average particulate exposures across the sample were below current federal limits. Future studies will need to follow youth through later adolescence to evaluate whether these source-specific network patterns correspond with tangible differences in sensory function, attention, or mental health outcomes.
The study, “Sources of outdoor air pollution exposure and child brain network development across the United States,” was authored by Katherine L. Bottenhorn, Kirthana Sukumaran, Amanda C. Del Giacco, Hedyeh Ahmadi, Jordan D. Corbett, Alethea V. de Jesus, Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez, Rima Habre, Daniel A. Hackman, Joel Schwartz, Jiu-Chiuan Chen, and Megan M. Herting.

South Koreans See a Doctor 18 Times a Year—Here's Why
South Koreans visit a doctor an average of 18 times a year, compared to just 4 times in the US and 2 in Sweden. According to OECD Health Statistics via Visual Capitalist across 40 countries, the gap isn't about who is sicker—it comes down to out-of-pocket costs and how doctors get paid. From clinic visits to personal budgets, financial incentives shape our everyday habits.

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Sugar restriction in early life is linked to lower dementia risk and slightly slower brain aging decades later
An analysis of UK Biobank data found that people who were exposed to Britain’s sugar rationing in the womb and during their first years of life had a 27% lower risk of dementia, a 46% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, an 11% lower risk of depression, and a 20% lower risk of anxiety compared with people born after rationing ended. Brain scans also suggested slightly slower brain aging in this group. The paper was published in npj Aging.
Neurological and psychiatric disorders such as dementia, depression, and anxiety place a growing burden on individuals, healthcare systems, and societies worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that some of the factors influencing these conditions may begin acting very early in life, during sensitive periods of brain development.
The first 1,000 days of life, beginning in pregnancy and continuing through infancy, are considered especially important for shaping long-term health. Nutrition is one of the major environmental influences during this period because the developing brain depends heavily on an adequate and balanced supply of nutrients. At the same time, modern diets often expose pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and young children to large amounts of added sugar.
This has raised concerns that high sugar intake early in life could have lasting effects on brain development and later mental health. Biological studies suggest that excessive sugar exposure may promote inflammation and disturb systems involved in the body’s response to stress. Poor maternal metabolic health, including elevated blood glucose, has also been associated with a greater risk of conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and anxiety in children.
Study author Xingji Lian of Guangzhou First People’s Hospital and Guangzhou Medical University in China and colleagues set out to examine whether limited sugar exposure early in life was linked to mental and brain health in older age. Because randomized trials restricting sugar during pregnancy and infancy would be impractical and unethical, the researchers turned to history. The U.K. rationed sugar between 1942 and 1953, limiting intake to levels in line with current dietary guidelines and providing no sugar ration for children under two years of age.
Sugar rationing ended in September 1953, and average adult sugar consumption nearly doubled almost immediately, while intake of other major foods remained stable. This allowed the researchers to treat the policy change as a natural experiment, comparing people conceived while rationing was in place with people conceived after it ended. A previous study using the same natural experiment, published in Science, linked early exposure to rationing to lower risks of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
The researchers drew on the UK Biobank, a large long-term research project that has collected genetic, health, lifestyle, and medical imaging data from about half a million people in the United Kingdom. They examined diagnoses of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression, and anxiety, along with brain scans that allowed them to estimate each person’s brain age.
The analysis included 60,394 participants born between October 1951 and March 1956. Of these, 38,227 were conceived while rationing was in place (born between October 1951 and June 1954), including 9,963 born between October 1953 and June 1954, who were exposed to rationing only in the womb. The remaining 22,167 participants, born between July 1954 and March 1956, served as the comparison group, and a subset of 9,053 participants without brain disorders had brain scans.
People exposed to rationing both in the womb and after birth had lower risks of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and anxiety than the comparison group, after the researchers accounted for factors such as region and month of birth, socioeconomic status, education, family history, and genetic risk scores. Those exposed only in the womb had a 10% lower risk of anxiety but showed no meaningful differences for the other conditions. Rationing was not associated with Parkinson’s disease.
Because participants were only in their late 60s or early 70s by the end of follow-up, the dementia findings rested on relatively few cases: 307 people had been diagnosed with dementia and 123 with Alzheimer’s disease. By comparison, 7,015 had been diagnosed with depression and 4,011 with anxiety.
Longer exposure to rationing after birth was associated with progressively lower risks of depression and anxiety, with the associations becoming more pronounced after six months. For example, participants exposed to rationing for 12 months after birth had a 23% lower risk of depression and a 28% lower risk of anxiety, and the lowest risks were seen in those exposed for 24 months. No such pattern appeared for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
The associations were most consistent in women, who showed lower risks of Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and anxiety. In men, the only reliable reduction was for anxiety.
In the brain imaging analyses, people exposed to rationing after birth had brains that looked about 0.39 years, or roughly five months, younger relative to their actual age than those of the comparison group. They also tended to have larger volumes in several deep brain structures, including the hippocampus, thalamus, and putamen, and lower contrast between gray and white matter across much of the cortex, a finding the authors say could reflect several different tissue changes and should be considered preliminary. Exposure only in the womb showed few associations with brain structure.
“These quasi-experimental findings suggest that early-life sugar restriction is associated with attenuated neurobiological aging and lower risks of dementia and psychiatric disorders, suggesting sugar intake as a potential modifiable factor of lifelong brain health,” study authors concluded.
The study contributes to the scientific understanding of the long-term consequences of early nutritional patterns. However, it should be noted that the end of sugar rationing coincided with broader post-war economic recovery, improved maternal healthcare, and changing infant feeding practices, all of which may have independently influenced brain development. Rationing of other foods also ended by July 1954, although consumption of those foods changed only slightly. Because of this, it remains uncertain how much of the observed differences are due to sugar alone.
Individual sugar intake was not measured; exposure was inferred from participants’ birth dates. Diagnoses of depression and anxiety relied partly on self-reports and primary care records, and participants grew up in a post-war, predominantly white British setting that may not reflect the experiences of children today. The authors say the findings need to be replicated in contemporary groups with detailed dietary information before informing clinical or public health recommendations.
The paper, “Early-life sugar rationing, brain aging, and long-term neurodegenerative and psychiatric health outcomes: a population-based natural experiment study,” was authored by Xingji Lian, Amei Chen, Xiaoyan Zhu, Yuyu Huang, Chongzhe Yang, Yan Huang, Meilong Ran, Longyan Yin, and Bing Zhang.
