The development of adolescent brains has a greater impact on emotional skills and physical and intellectual abilities. How to explore the important factors affecting human development through survey data and other research methods, and provide evidence support for policy implementation is of great significance.

They discussed about integrating existing achievements, deepening understanding of the field, and developing a new research framework to be the future goal and direction.
Finally, the two sides further communicate on the important factors that affect the future achievements of children's brain and mathematical cognition, language cognition, adolescent anxiety and stress, as well as the gender differences.
In this communication, the two sides are committed to explore the important factors that affect the development of children and the development of young people, and use the existing research to promote the development of cognitive capital, and apply the basic research results to practice in order to promote the development of children and adolescents.
