*Data are from studies comparing the resemblance in monozygotic twins with that in dizygotic twins. If a measure was available at multiple electrodes, the electrodes with highest amplitude were selected. A range of heritabilities reflects either the variation in estimates across multiple studies or across multiple age groups within a single study.
