Genetic and environmental contributions to the rate of developmental changes in the amplitudes of No-Go and Go ERP components (difference scores, age 16 – age 12).
ERP phenotype | rMZ | rDZ | Additive Genetic (Heritability) | Non-shared Environmental |
---|---|---|---|---|
N2, FCZ | 0.30* (0.09 – 0.49) | 0.10 (−0.11 – 0.30) | 0.29* (0.10 – 0.46) | 0.71* (0.54 – 0.90) |
P3N, FCZ | 0.22* (0.001 – 0.42) | 0.09 (−0.12 – 0.29) | 0.21* (0.01 – 0.39) | 0.79* (0.61 – 0.99) |
P3G, PZ | 0.40* (0.19 – 0.56) | −0.05 (−0.26 – 0.16) | 0.28* (0.09 – 0.45) | 0.72* (0.55 – 0.91) |
rMZ and rDZ are intrapair correlations for MZ and DZ twin pairs, respectively (95% confidence intervals are shown in brackets);
p<.05;
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.
