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.
