N2, FCZ: amplitude of the No-Go N2 component at the fronto-central midline electrode (FCz); P3N, FCZ: amplitude of the No-Go P3 component at FCz; P3G, PZ: amplitude of the Go P3 component at the parietal midline electrode (Pz). rMZ and rDZ are intrapair correlations for MZ and DZ twin pairs, respectively (95% confidence intervals are shown in brackets);

a2 is the proportion of total phenotypic variance explained by genetic factors (heritability) and e2 is the proportion of variance due to non-shared environmental factors. Variance component estimates are based on the best-fitting model (see text and Supplementary Table 1).
