A resource for probing influences of perinatal factors on neurodevelopment in 3-10-years-old Chinese children

Adverse perinatal factors can disrupt the normal development of the brain, with potential long-term impacts on childrens overall development. Currently, the neuropathological mechanisms by which these factors lead to various neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) remain largely unknown. An open resource that integrate perinatal factors with brain and mental health development is essential for investigating NDD-related aetiology. In this Data Descriptor, we introduce a multicentre database containing information on perinatal factors that influence childrens brain-mind development, namely, periCBD, that combines neuroimaging and behavioural phenotypes with perinatal factors associated with a high incidence of NDDs at county/region/central district hospitals. PeriCBD was designed to establish a platform for the investigation of individual differences in brain-mind development among children aged 3-10 years are associated with perinatal factors. Ultimately, our goal was to develop an early prediction and screening model for NDDs that leverages normative data to facilitate NDD aetiology research. Herein, we provide a systematic overview of the data acquisition/cleaning/quality control/sharing, processes of periCBD and present preliminary brain-mind associations.

A longitudinal resource for population neuroscience of school-age children and adolescents in China

During the past decade, cognitive neuroscience has been calling for population diversity to address the challenge of validity and generalizability, ushering in a new era of population neuroscience. The developing Chinese Color Nest Project (devCCNP, 2013-2022), a ten-year pilot stage of the lifespan CCNP (2013-2032), is an ongoing project focusing on brain-mind development. The project aims to create and share a large-scale, longitudinal and multimodal dataset of typically developing children and adolescents (ages 6.0-17.9 at enrolment) in the Chinese population. The devCCNP houses not only phenotypes measured by demographic, biophysical, psychological and behavioural, cognitive, affective, and ocular-tracking assessments but also neurotypes measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain morphometry, resting-state function, naturalistic viewing function and diffusion structure. This Data Descriptor introduces the first data release of devCCNP including a total of 864 visits from 479 participants. Herein, we provided details of the experimental design, sampling strategies, and technical validation of the devCCNP resource. We demonstrate and discuss the potential of a multicohort longitudinal design to depict normative brain growth curves from the perspective of developmental population neuroscience. The devCCNP resource is shared as part of the "Chinese Data-sharing Warehouse for In-vivo Imaging Brain" in the Chinese Color Nest Project (CCNP) - Lifespan Brain-Mind Development Data Community (https://www.scidb.cn/en/c/ccnp) at the Science Data Bank.
