Cognitive brain functions and financial status, what's the connection? A study conducted by medical personnel from Switzerland [1] has revealed that a person's financial status has an impact on the aging process of their brain. A group of researchers analysed medical images of the brain and compared them with the socioeconomic status of individuals, including their family income. The authors noted that the relationship between family income and brain health is partly explained by changes in neurite density and myelination, indicating that financial status can affect cognitive ability through these physiological mechanisms. However, in wealthier families, higher income helped to preserve cognitive function even with negative changes in the brain.
