TL;DR: In this first longitudinal study of nonpsychotic siblings of patients with COS, the siblings showed early WM growth deficits, which normalized with age, suggesting that white matter growth may also be an age-specific endophenotype that shows compensatory normalization with age.

TL;DR: This study examines the genetic contributions to CT-intelligence relationships using a genetically informative longitudinal sample of 813 typically developing youth, imaged with high-resolution MRI and assessed with Wechsler Intelligence Scales (IQ).

TL;DR: These analyses suggest the presence of strong genetic correlations between cerebral structures, particularly between regions of like tissue type or in spatial proximity, and most of the variance in all structures is associated with highly correlated lobar latent factors.

TL;DR: Results indicate that better vocabulary skills are associated with greater anatomical coupling in several linguistically relevant regions of cortex, including the left inferior parietal (temporal‐parietal junction), inferior temporal, middle frontal, and superior frontal gyri and the right inferior frontal and precentral gyri.

TL;DR: It is difficult to conclude, with any certainty, the etiology of the differences found in this study, but future studies that examine longitudinal data and/or other diagnostic groups may help to better elucidate specific hormone and sex chromosome effects upon stress‐related structures in the brain.
