Groundbreaking Study Links Urban Environment with Brain Development, Cognition and Mental Health Using Satellite Imagery
STUDY | REPORT

Linking neuroimaging and mental health data from the ABCD Study to UrbanSat measurements of macro environmental factors

This study links satellite-based environmental data with the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study—the largest long-term study of brain development in children in the U.S.—to better understand how urban surroundings influence mental health. By combining 11 satellite-derived indicators (such as land use, nighttime lights, and population density) with residential data from over 11,000 children ages 9–16, researchers are able to examine how complex urban factors relate to brain function and cognitive development. This groundbreaking dataset offers new insights into how growing up in different physical environments may shape mental health outcomes during adolescence.
