Stability of genetic and environmental influences on P300 amplitude: a longitudinal study in adolescent twins.

This study examined the stability of genetic and environmental influences on individual differences in P300 amplitude during adolescence. The P300 component is an event-related brain potential (ERP) that has attracted much attention as a biological marker for disturbed cognitive processing in psychopathology. Understanding the genetics of this biological marker may contribute to understanding t...

Genetic and environmental influences on blood pressure in elderly twins.

We used 289 pairs of Swedish twins reared apart or together to evaluate the importance of genetic and environmental influences on blood pressure. Unlike other twin and family studies, the adoption/twin design allows a distinction between estimates of the importance of shared rearing environments and genetic effects. Genetic factors were observed to play an important role for individual differen...

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Motor Function: A Magnetoencephalographic Study of Twins

To investigate the effect of genetic and environmental influences on cerebral motor function, we determined similarities and differences of movement-related cortical fields (MRCFs) in middle-aged and elderly monozygotic (MZ) twins. MRCFs were measured using a 160-channel magnetoencephalogram system when MZ twins were instructed to repeat lifting of the right index finger. We compared latency, a...

Genetic influences on growth traits of BMI: a longitudinal study of adult twins.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the interplay between genetic factors influencing baseline level and changes in BMI in adulthood. METHODS AND PROCEDURES A longitudinal twin study of the cohort of Finnish twins (N = 10,556 twin individuals) aged 20-46 years at baseline was conducted and followed up 15 years. Data on weight and height were obtained from mailed surveys in 1975, 1981, and 1990. RESULT...

Longitudinal Study of Genetic Influences on ERP-P3 During Childhood

The P3, a component of the event-related potential, is an electrophysiological reaction of the brain to an event. It has been extensively studied as an index of attentional and memory processes in humans, and the substantial individual variation in its amplitude and latency has been related to individual differences in cognitive function and ability. Little is known about the relative contribut...
