Table 5.

Heritability estimates for the AIs, their corresponding standard errors and P-values, based on a large family dataset (GOBS). In the middle part of the table are the genetic correlations between left and right volumes (heritabilities of their phenotypic correlations), and test P-values for whether the genetic correlations differ significantly from 0 and 1. In the right-hand part of the table are the environmental and phenotypic correlation estimates between left and right volumes
