We are looking for pre-teens ages 10-14 of all gender expressions to participate in our study exploring how hormones affect the development of different parts of the brain during puberty. This is a longitudinal study that requires 4 visits across 4 years.

Each visit will include:

  • Comprehensive physical, cognitive, and behavioral evaluations

  • Brain imaging with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (safe, non-invasive, no x-rays/radiation)

  • Blood test (including genetic analysis)

Potential benefits for participating:

  • Receipt of written reports from cognitive and behavioral evaluations

  • Up to $130 honorarium for each year of participation
