Brief summary
To study the impact of genetic and environmental factors on high-level cognition associated neural circuits among healthy young Chinese Han subjects.
Detailed description
The investigators plan to collect behavioral assessment and environmental factors data,peripheral blood sample, MRI brain images in more than 10,000 healthy young Chinese Han individuals in order to build the pathway from gene to high-level cognitive phenotypes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brain structure and function measured by MRI scans | 2 years | The participants will receive non-interventional multi-modal MRI scans, such as 3D-T1WI, DTI, DKI, ASL, REST-fmri, then the investigators can acquire the brain volume in region of interest, such as bilateral hippocampus. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Childhood adversities as assessed by Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (Chinese Version) | 2 years | To investigate impact of the adversities in early life of participants on brain structure and function as well as the interaction effect of childhood adversities and genetic variations,such as 5-HTTLPR polymorphism. |
