in neonates to moderate (49%) in children (Wallace et al. 2006) and high (>60%) in adults (Wright et al. 2002). In contrast, lateral ventricle volumes showed a higher heritability (71%) in neonates (Gilmore et al. 2010) than in children (~30–35%)(Wallace et al. 2006; Schmitt et al. 2007; Peper et al. 2009) and in adults (<10%)(Chou et al. 2009).
