Functional connectivity Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI)

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique for examining brain activity. Resting state fMRI aims to assess spontaneous brain activity using MRI while the participant is at rest, not performing any specific task. It captures ongoing functional connectivity patterns within the brain.

In Generation R, the resting state functional MRI scan at measurement wave 7 years (children) and at measurement wave 17-18 years (parents) was only performed in a subgroup
