Longitudinal associations between racial discrimination and hippocampal and white matter hyperintensity volumes among older Black adults

Laura B. Zahodne et al.

Summary: Non-Hispanic Black older adults have a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) than non-Hispanic Whites, reflecting racial disparities in brain and cognitive health. Research suggests that racial discrimination may be detrimental to brain aging among non-Hispanic Black older adults, contributing to their disproportionate dementia burden. Further studies that disaggregate discrimination by attribution may provide a clearer understanding of racial inequalities in brain and cognitive aging.

Racial Discrimination and Resting-State Functional Connectivity of Salience Network Nodes in Trauma-Exposed Black Adults in the United States

E. Kate Webb et al.

Summary: This study aims to explore the neurobiological mechanisms that may provide new insights into the association between racial discrimination and adverse health outcomes. The study included 102 Black adults who had recently experienced a traumatic injury. The findings suggest that racial discrimination is associated with increased connectivity of salience network nodes (amygdala and anterior insula).

Racial Discrimination and White Matter Microstructure in Trauma-Exposed Black Women

Negar Fani et al.

Summary: Experiences of racial discrimination are independently associated with lower white matter microstructure in the brains of Black American women, even after controlling for other factors. This suggests that racial discrimination may have detrimental effects on brain health and increase vulnerability to neurodegenerative disorders and mental health problems.

Indirect Effects of Racial Discrimination on Health Outcomes Through Prefrontal Cortical White Matter Integrity

Onyebuchi Okeke et al.

Summary: This study investigated the indirect effects of racial discrimination on health outcomes in Black women. The results showed that racial discrimination can affect the microstructural integrity of stress-sensitive prefrontal white matter tracts, leading to increased risk for medical disorders.

Summary: The review found an increase in studies on the relationship between racial discrimination and trauma in recent years, with the majority using cross-sectional designs and focusing on American adults, primarily African American, White, Latinx, and Asian populations. 70% of the studies discovered significant associations between trauma symptomology and racial discrimination.

Long-term Neural Embedding of Childhood Adversity in a Population-Representative Birth Cohort Followed for 5 Decades

Maria Z. Gehred et al.

Summary: Childhood adversity is associated with widespread differences in midlife gray matter across cortical and subcortical structures, with prospectively ascertained adversity having stronger and more extensive associations than retrospectively reported adversity. These effects are distributed broadly along a hierarchical cortical gradient of information processing, indicating long-lasting biological embedding of childhood adversity in the brain.

Asymmetric thinning of the cerebral cortex across the adult lifespan is accelerated in Alzheimer's disease

James M. Roe et al.

Summary: Aging and Alzheimer's disease lead to progressive disorganization of the brain, causing a loss of cortical asymmetry that becomes accelerated with age. This study shows that the adaptive asymmetric organization of the heteromodal cortex is dedifferentiated in aging and AD, emphasizing a system-wide impact on brain structure.

Neural impact of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage in traumatically injured adults

E. Kate Webb et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of neighborhood disadvantage, acute post-traumatic stress symptoms, and individual socioeconomic position on brain structure and functional connectivity. Findings revealed that living in a disadvantaged neighborhood can have negative effects on certain brain regions and functional connectivity, particularly those involved in processing and regulating emotions.

Association of Racial Discrimination With Neural Response to Threat in Black Women in the US Exposed to Trauma

Negar Fani et al.

Summary: This study found that experiences of racial discrimination are associated with disproportionately greater response in brain regions related to emotion regulation, fear inhibition, and visual attention, as well as affecting performance in affective attentional control tasks. Frequent experiences of racism may enhance attentional and regulatory responses to trauma-related stressors, leading to heightened modulation of regulatory resources.

Racial Discrimination is Associated with Acute Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Predicts Future Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Severity in Trauma-Exposed Black Adults in the United States

Claire M. Bird et al.

Summary: In the United States, Black residents exposed to traumatic events have a higher risk of developing PTSD with more severe symptoms compared to White counterparts. Past racial discrimination is significantly associated with acute posttraumatic stress symptoms and predicts future PTSD symptoms. This highlights the impact of racial discrimination on mental health and the call for racism to be classified as a public health crisis.
