Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Age- and puberty related change in brain structure and function related to the construct of prosocial behaviour. MRI scans: Structural MRI will be used to gain information on gray and white matter properties (volume, density, and cortical thickness). DTI will be used to gain specific information on white matter microstructure and fibertracking. Functional MRI will be used to gain information on taskrelated brain activity during cognitive and emotional information processing. Pubertal assessment: Participants will fill in a self-report form of pubertal maturation. Second, the participants will provide saliva to test for testosterone, DHEA, and estradiol levels. In addition, behavioral tasks and questionnaires will be used to assess prosocial development. Daily diaries will be used to assess adolescents' experience during the naturalistic test-retest study. Also, measures will be acquired of participants' intelligence, sleep (with motion-loggers), and relationship with their parents.
