In Germany, about one third of the adult population is affected by a mental illness [...] to around 17.8 million people. For those affected and their relatives, mental illness is associated with massive suffering and often leads to severe restrictions in social and professional life. In addition
the social brain can be determined, along with their association with structural brain maturation, genetic influences and the acquisition of behavioral skills. With this Habilitation project, I will not only [...] in high-risk children and adolescents (subjects with ADHD). Furthermore, a new sample of children with Conduct Disorder (CD), as well as of adolescents with CD is collected. In addition, this WP measures [...] biological pathways. These signatures will be predicted in subjects with clinical/MRI biomarkers, in order to assess whether patients with extreme omics profiles show differences in functional outcomes. 2

Abstract Recurrent neural networks (RNN) are a class of artificial neural networks that can be trained with empirical behavioral data to emulate in silico how the brain performs complex cognitive tasks. This [...] computations through a non linear input-output mapping. The resulting properties of RNN can be analyzed with tools from network neuroscience to gain insights into the neural mechanisms of high-order cognition [...] aggregated cognitive performance data derived from a battery of cognitive tests in controls and patients with schizophrenia. We expect that RNN trained on human healthy data will show network properties that
