[xmca] Fwd: Fw: Fwd: The New Science of Babies and Brains, and How It Could Revolutionize the Fight Against Poverty

[mike cole <lchcmike@gmail.com>]

I am not sure this article has circulated. The extrapolation to children
living in poverty in the US faces all of the issues we confronted in the
1960's, but now in the form of hot liquid.

decade ago, a neuroscientist named Charles Nelson traveled to Bucharest to
visit Romania’s infamous orphanages. There, he saw a child whose brain had
swelled to the size of a basketball because of an untreated infection and a
malnourished one-year-old no bigger than a newborn. But what has stayed
with him ever since was the eerie quiet of the infant wards. “It would be
dead silent, all of [the babies] sitting on their backs and staring at the
ceiling,” says Nelson, who is now at Harvard. “Why cry when nobody is going
to pay attention to you?”

Nelson had traveled to Romania to take part in a cutting-edge experiment.
It was ten years after the fall of the Communist dictator Nicolae
CeauÅŸescu, whose scheme for increasing the country’s population through
bans on birth control and abortion had filled state-run institutions with
children their parents couldn’t support. Images from the orphanages had
prompted an outpouring of international aid and a rush from parents around
the world to adopt the children. But ten years later, the new government
remained convinced that the institutions were a good idea­and was still
warehousing at least 60,000 kids, some of them born after the old regime’s
fall, in facilities where many received almost no meaningful human
interaction. With backing from the MacArthur Foundation, and help from a
sympathetic Romanian official, Nelson and colleagues from Harvard, Tulane,
and the University of Maryland prevailed upon the government to allow them
to remove some of the children from the orphanages and place them with
foster families. Then, the researchers would observe how they fared over
time in comparison with the children still in the orphanages. They would
also track a third set of children, who were with their original parents,
as a control group. In the field of child development, this study­now known
as the Bucharest Early Intervention Project­was nearly unprecedented.
