Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether dimensional constructs of psychopathology relate to variation in patterns of brain development and to determine whether these constructs share common neurodevelopmental profiles. Methods: Psychiatric symptom ratings from 9312 youths (8–21 years old) from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort were parsed into 7 independent dimensions of clinical psychopathology representing conduct, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, attention, depression, bipolar, and psychosis symptoms. Using a subset of this cohort with structural magnetic resonance imaging (n = 1313), a normative model of brain morphology was established and the model was then applied t..
