Money can do lots of things, including making your children smarter. That's what a team of scientists in Los Angeles have discovered. They've proved - in published research - that wealthier parents have smarter kids.

The new study suggests that a family's socioeconomic status correlates with the surface area of children's brains, regardless of genetic ancestry, race and other factors.

Not only does mum and dad's salary appear to account for variability in surface area of children's brains, but a small raise for those on the low- or middle-income scale seems to have a disproportionately bigger effect on children's brain size and scores on cognitive tests, according to the study, published online in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

"We've known for a long time that cognitive development, school performance and productivity in adult life can be impacted by socioeconomic status, but now we're actually seeing it in the brain," said Elizabeth Sowell, a developmental neuroscientist at the Saban Research Institute at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and lead investigator of the study.
