The Multiethnic Cohort: Brain-Behavior Phenotypes of Neuro-PASC

The proposed study will apply machine learning to assess hormone-related brain structure and functional connectivity, the roles of sex hormone in structure-function coupling across the brain, and the impact of hormonal variability and sampling design on identified neuroendocrine phenomena.

Independent and interactive effects of genetic risk for depression and family income-to-needs on emotional brain development

The proposed study aims to determine if a child’s genetics and their socioeconomic status interact to shape longitudinal changes in emotional brain and behavior development that could ultimately increase their risk of depression using a large, diverse nationwide sample of U.S. youth between the ages of 9 to 12 years.
