What about the article title? ("How Poverty Changes Kids’ Brains") There's absolute no answer on "How", only a couple of poor blind guess. "Family Income Chan

  You're misreading that too. The 'how' mentioned is indicating the measured changes in the brain as opposed to the way in which they came about. "How did the brain change?" "Measured surface area was reduced by 20% in the low-income sample." A grammatically similar statement might be "How bananas are changed when you cut them in half," followed by a treatment of the measured effects of different kinds of knife. Sure, it's somewhat confusing, but the article makes it clear.

    Even if that's the case, I still think it's a poorly written article. Scientists have reached a very interesting finding. You can either write an article about how such finding was made(actual experiments, data collected, curiosities along the work, oppositions against common sense, etc) or what such finding means (what I already made a point). If the article is about the finding (and not what it means), as I believe it's what you're saying, note that there is nothing meaningful about the research at all, just the conclusion. Great articles tackles both points. Good articles tackles one. This article tackles none.
