All values are ICCs; 95% CIs in parentheses. ICCs were calculated with the use of linear mixed models, and models were adjusted for sex. Parameter estimates used in the calculations were from fattening greater than nonfattening visual food-cue contrasts. n = 18 complete twin pairs; n = 39 individuals included in the statistical calculations. *P < 0.05. ICC, intraclass correlation; mOFC, medial orbital frontal cortex; VTA, ventral tegmental area.
