Text

Although several studies are currently underway, as yet there have been few published reports of MRI results from pediatric subjects, and the NIH study is the only to date to have had sufficient sample size across a broad enough age range to explore the issue of effects of age on the heritability of different brain regions. We therefore will be concentrating on results from this study.
