The Wisconsin Twin Project encompasses nearly 30 years of longitudinal research that spans infancy to early adulthood. The twin sample was recruited from statewide birth records for birth cohorts 1989-2004. We summarize early recruitment, assessment, retention and recently completed twin neuroimaging studies. In addition to the focal twins, longitudinal data were also collected from two parents and nontwin siblings. Our adolescent and young adult neuroimaging sample (N = 600) completed several previous behavioral and environmental assessments, beginning shortly after birth. The extensive phenotyping is meant to support a range of empirical investigations with potentially differing theoretical perspectives.
威斯康星双胞胎项目涵盖了近30年从婴儿期到成年早期的纵向研究。双胞胎样本是从1989 - 2004年出生队列的全州出生记录中招募的。我们总结了早期招募、评估、留存情况以及最近完成的双胞胎神经影像学研究。除了核心双胞胎外,还从两位父母和非双胞胎兄弟姐妹那里收集了纵向数据。我们的青少年和青年成人神经影像学样本(N = 600)在出生后不久就开始完成了几项先前的行为和环境评估。广泛的表型分析旨在支持一系列具有潜在不同理论视角的实证研究。
