Population‐neuroscience study of the Tokyo TEEN Cohort (pn‐TTC): Cohort longitudinal study to explore the neurobiological substrates of adolescent psychological and behavioral development

Adolescence is a crucial stage of psychological development and is critically vulnerable to the onset of psychopathology. Our understanding of how the maturation of endocrine, epigenetics, and brain circuit may underlie psychological development in adolescence, however, has not been integrated. Here, we introduce our research project, the population‐neuroscience study of the Tokyo TEEN Cohort (pn‐TTC), a longitudinal study to explore the neurobiological substrates of development during adolescence.
