Adolescence is a risk period for the emergence of psychiatric disorders. It is also a time of rapid change in the brain, but few studies have detailed changes in neurodevelopment during this sensitive period. We will study twins from early adolescence and use brain imaging to investigate changing brain patterns as the brain matures, and thereby, gain insight into factors responsible for increasing our risk or resilience for major mental health conditions and optimal points for intervention.

青春期是出现精神障碍的风险期。这也是大脑快速变化的时期，但很少有研究详细说明这一敏感时期神经发育的变化。我们将研究青春期早期的双胞胎，并使用大脑成像来研究随着大脑成熟而变化的大脑模式，从而深入了解导致我们对主要心理健康状况的风险或恢复力增加的因素以及干预的最佳点。
