Overall, primary sensory regions that mature first had higher heritability than later maturing brain regions, such as the frontal cortex (van Soelen et al. 2013). However, late maturing regions showed an increase in heritability with age until 18 years and stabilize thereafter, whereas the heritability of primary sensory regions was stable across the age range of 21–27 and 51–59 years (Rimol et al. 2010; Joshi et al. 2011).
