Socioeconomic status is associated with cognitive development, but the extent to which this reflects neuroanatomical differences is unclear. In 1,099 children and adolescents, family income was nonlinearly associated with brain surface area, and this association was greatest among disadvantaged children. Further, surface area mediated links between income and executive functioning.
