Proposal summary: 

Aims

To unravel the genetic and longitudinal epigenetic and environmental influences on National Institute of Mental Health (USA) Research Domain Criteria (RDoCs) Domains (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/index.shtml) including: positive and negative valence and social process systems that contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders in children and young adults.
