However, changes in the brain are very likely our best clues to future mental health outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>The adolescent brain is particularly important in this pursuit as changes during this period are rapid and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/2022\/07\/feature-neuroscience-teen-brain\">dynamic<\/a>, sculpting our individual uniqueness. Furthermore, most mental disorders\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17551351\/\">emerge<\/a>\u00a0during adolescence, with more than half occurring by 14 years of age, and three quarters by age 25.<\/p>\n<p>By monitoring and tracking brain changes as they happen, we can tackle emerging mental health problems in adolescence and target early treatment. The challenge is accurately predicting the likelihood of a person developing a mental disorder, well before it happens.<\/p>\n<p>We are researchers with the world-first Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study (LABS). We have been tracking adolescent brain development, using MRI scans, for several years. Our recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1053811922004773\">paper<\/a>\u00a0is the first to show the uniqueness of an adolescent\u2019s brain (or their \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/brain-activity-is-as-unique-and-identifying-as-a-fingerprint-48723\">brain fingerprint<\/a>\u201d) can predict mental health outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Brain fingerprinting could be the future of mental disorder prevention, allowing us to identify signs of concern in teenagers through brain imaging, and intervene early before illness develops.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Our unique brains in action<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Just as fingerprints are unique, each human brain has a unique profile of signals between brain regions that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1053811922004773\">become more individual and specialised<\/a>\u00a0as people age.<\/p>\n<p>To date, our study involves 125 participants, from 12 years of age, with over 500 brain scans among them. Our research captures brain and mental health development in adolescents over five years. It uses four-monthly brain imaging (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magnetic_resonance_imaging\">MRI<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electroencephalography\">EEG<\/a>), and psychological and cognitive assessments.<\/p>\n<p>We looked at each individual\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Connectome\">functional connectome<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 their brain\u2019s system of neural pathways in action. We discovered that how unique these characteristics are is significantly associated with new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mental_distress\">psychological distress<\/a>\u00a0reported at the time of subsequent scans four months later. In other words, the level of uniqueness seems to be predictive of a mental health outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The MRI scans were undertaken during a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6051935\/\">resting state<\/a>, as opposed to task-based functional MRI. It still tells us a lot about brain activity, such as how the brain keeps connections running or gets ready to do something. You could compare this to a mechanic, listening to a engine idling before it\u2019s taken for a drive.<\/p>\n<p>In the 12-year-olds we studied, we found unique functional whole-brain connectomes do exist. But a more specific network \u2013 involved in controlling\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/psychology\/goal-directed-behavior\">goal-directed behaviour<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 is less unique in early adolescence. In other words, this network is still quite similar across different people.<\/p>\n<p>We found the extent of its uniqueness can predict anxiety and depression symptoms that emerge later. So those with less unique brains had higher levels of distress down the line.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Rich insights<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We suspect the level of maturation in this brain network \u2013 the part that involves executive control or goal-directed behaviours \u2013 may provide a biological explanation for why some teens are at increased vulnerability of mental distress. It may be that delays in the \u201cfine tuning\u201d of such executive function networks lead to increased mental health issues.<\/p>\n<p>By doing brains scans and other assessments at regular intervals \u2013 up to 15 times for each participant \u2013 LABS not only provides fine-grained information about adolescent brain development, but it can also better pinpoint the emergence and onset of mental ill health.<\/p>\n<p>Our approach allows us to better establish the occurrence and sequence of changes in the brain (and in behaviours, lifestyle factors, thinking) and mental health risks and problems.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to unique brain signatures to predict psychological distress, we expect there will be other ways (using\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s12021-022-09572-9\">machine learning<\/a>) we can interpret information about a person\u2019s brain. This will get us closer to accurately predicting their mental health and wellbeing outcomes. Data rich, studies over a long time period are the key to finding this \u201choly grail\u201d of neuroscience.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying mental health risk in teenagers means we may be able to intervene before adulthood, when many mental health disorders become embedded and more difficult to resolve.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64228\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64228\" class=\"size-full wp-image-64228\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uniquebrain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uniquebrain.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uniquebrain-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-64228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our research suggests brain uniqueness plays a role in teen mental health.
