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...
متن کاملGenetic 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...
متن کاملStability 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...
متن کاملGenetic influences on baroreflex function in normal twins.
Blood pressure and heart rate are strongly influenced by genetic factors; however, despite the pivotal role of genetics in short-term cardiovascular regulation, little is known about the genetic contribution to baroreflex function. We assessed genetic influence on baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in 149 twin pairs (88 monozygotic of age 33+/-13 years and BMI 23+/-4 kg/m(2) and 61 dizygotic of age 3...
متن کاملPlasma lipids in twins. Environmental and genetic influences.
A study on 205 pairs of male and females twins, aged from 18 to 34 years. showed significant heritabilities for total and high density lipoprotein cholesterol and for triglycerides. Significant effects of shared environment were also found for total and HDL cholesterol, possibly to a greater extent in women than in men. Triglycerides showed greater variance in men but a model specifying differe...
