TABLE 1. Twin sample demographics.

List of twin sample demographics. AP status: attention/hyperactivity status of twin pair; Twin pair: twin pair number; Age: age at time of MRI exam (in years); Sex: M = male, F = Female; AP scores: attention and hyperactivity problems for both twins measured with Child Behavior Checklist, AP high = T-score ≥ 60 at all available time points and ≥ 65 at least once; AP low = T-score ≤ 55 at all available time points; Mean AP T-score: mean AP T-scores across 2 or 3 time points (7, 10 and 12 years), computed separately for boys and girls; Aggression T-score: aggression T-scores from CBCL at age 12, separately for boys and girls. Anxious Depressed T-score: anxious depression T-scores from CBCL at age 12, separately for boys and girls; Birth weight: birth weight of each twin in grams; Incubation time: number of days spend in incubator; Comorbidities: at the time of MRI scanning, interview data were obtained from the mothers of the twins on items regarding dyslexia, social phobia, separation anxiety disorder, specific phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, dysthymia, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder. For twin pairs 11 – 17 of the concordant CBCL-AP low controls interview data were not collected.
