Research suggests that poverty affects brain development in children and that the implications for learning are more compelling today given the attention the issue has attracted. For  instance, studies in the fields of cognitive neuroscience, educational neuroscience, and developmental psychology have shown that living in poverty may indeed change how the brain grows and develops and  may have implications for learning through adulthood and professional opportunities. This paper argues  that living in poverty may put pre-school and school-aged children at health risks and behavioral  problems in the classroom as it upsets brain development. Drawing from available pertinent literature,  this paper will through descriptive design and in-depth analysis identify areas of the brain affected by  poverty, implications for learning, and recommend possible ways teachers can apply their knowledge of the brain in the classroom to ameliorate the challenges faced by children living in poverty.  \nKeywords: Brain, Development, Children, Learning, Teaching, Behavior, Classroom.  \nContents  \n1.

Introduction  \nThis paper explores poverty and brain development in children as it seeks to have a better understanding as to whether poverty alters the structure of the brain of children during its growth and development and the implications on academic performance. Drawing from pertinent available literature on the topic it will identify areas of the human brain affected by poverty, and their impacts on children‟s learning process. It will also recommend possible ways teachers can apply their knowledge of this topic in the classroom to ameliorate the challenges faced by school-age children living in poverty.  \nPoverty is ubiquitous and has varied definitions. However, for this paper, poverty is defined as “a state or condition in which a person or community lacks the financial resources and essentials to enjoy a minimum standard of life and well-being that is considered acceptable in society”(Investopedia, n.d) .
