Area of Science:

  • Developmental neuroscience
  • Population neuroimaging
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Paediatric population neuroimaging is an emerging field.
  • Large-scale, representative recruitment is key for population neuroimaging.
  • Embedding neuroimaging within epidemiological cohorts is a successful strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of the imaging protocol used in the Generation R Study.
  • To describe the overlap between neuroimaging data and metadata.
  • To highlight the potential of merging developmental neuroscience and epidemiology.

Main Methods:

  • The Generation R Study is a prospective, population-based birth cohort.
  • Neuroimaging included structural MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging, and resting-state fMRI.
  • Two waves of neuroimaging scanned children aged 6-9 and 9-11 years.

Main Results:

  • The first wave of neuroimaging in the Generation R Study has been completed.
  • Data from 1070 children aged 6-9 years were collected.
  • The second wave scanned 4087 children aged 9-11 years.

Conclusions:

  • Merging developmental neuroscience and epidemiology in population neuroimaging offers diverse research opportunities.
  • The Generation R Study provides a rich dataset for investigating child development.
  • This approach enables addressing a wide array of research questions in paediatric neuroimaging.
