The EEG spectral bands of the MZ twins were moderately to highly correlated in both 15- and 17-year-old cohorts for both relative and absolute power. The intraclass correlations pertaining to the EEG spectral bands of DZ twins, on the other hand, were much lower, often less than half the size of MZ correlations. 70 (see Table 1).
