A recent study showed how physical environmental factors such as urban density and the amount of natural green surrounding a child can impact their mental health as well as cognition and brain function.
The study results, published by Georgia State University on Nov. 12, used satellite and brain imaging, studying 11,800 children across 21 U.S. cities to understand how specific environments impact the brains of young people, also known as Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD).
