LV | .18 (−.33 .69) | 1 | −.05 (−.25 .15) | −.22 (−.40 −.03) | -.23 (−.41 −.03) | .29 (.10 .46) |
CC | .30 (.05 .52) | .22 (−.54 .74) | 1 | .49 (32 .63) | .39 (.19 .55) | .10 (−.11 .30) |
Thalamus | .97 (.83 1.0) | .00 (−.49 .65) | .42 (.11 .66) | 1 | .65 (.52 .75) | .07 (−.13 .27) |
SC | .82 (.71 .92) | −.37 (−.80 .24) | .35 (.07 .64) | .91 (.81 .98) | 1 | .13 (−.07 .33) |

Note: Genetic correlations are provided below the diagonal, with environmental correlations above (From Schmitt et al. 2007).
LV = lateral ventricles
CC = corpus callosum
SC = subcortical nuclei including caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus
95% confidence intervals are given in parentheses.
