Parent-Child Dyad Resting-State fMRI
Families that fire together smile together: Resting state connectome similarity and daily emotional synchrony in parent-child dyads
Resting-state brain fMRI and T1-weighted MRI of adolescents and their biological parents, collected to test whether parent-child similarity of intrinsic network connectivity tracks day-to-day mood synchrony. Raw images are not shared; group network maps are on NeuroVault.
Overview
This entry covers the imaging cohort of a 2017 NeuroImage study by Tae-Ho Lee, Michelle Miernicki and Eva Telzer (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). Adolescents and one of their biological parents each had a resting-state functional MRI scan, and both kept a daily mood diary for two weeks. The authors derived a connectivity matrix between 13 intrinsic brain networks for every person and asked whether parents and children with more similar matrices also had moods that moved together from day to day. The individual scans are not public. NeuroVault holds the 13 group-level network maps under CC0.
Composition
The families were part of a larger study that enrolled 76 people (37 adolescents and 39 primary caregivers). Of these, 31 parent-child pairs (62 people) completed the resting-state scan and form the analysed sample. Children were 13 to 17 years old (mean 14.8), and about half were girls. Parents were 33 to 57 years old (mean 43.1), and four of the 31 were fathers. No participant reported a current psychiatric diagnosis or medication, and none was excluded for head motion.
Acquisition
Scans used a 3 T Siemens Trio with a 32-channel head coil. Each session began with a 1 mm isotropic T1-weighted MPRAGE. The resting-state run lasted six minutes with eyes open on a fixation cross. Two gradient-echo EPI protocols were used: 15 dyads had TR 2 s, 180 volumes and 2.5 x 2.5 x 3 mm voxels, and 16 dyads had TR 3 s, 120 volumes and 3.5 x 3.5 x 4 mm voxels. Processing used FSL with ICA-based denoising.
Annotations
There are no image labels. Non-imaging measures are daily positive and negative mood ratings over 14 days and an adolescent emotional competence questionnaire.
Known limitations
- Individual MRI data are not shared; only group network maps are public.
- The resting-state protocol changed partway through, so the sample mixes two resolutions and repetition times.
- Most parents were mothers, and the sample is small.
- NeuroVault metadata lists a male proportion that does not match the percentages in the paper.
