In conclusion, the results indicate neurobiological continuity between symptoms
of conduct problems within the normal range, and conduct disorder. Relationships of thinner cortices and conduct problems
were primarily seen in younger children, and appeared to decrease with age, indicative of different maturational trajectories
in the groups. The long-term consequences are unknown, and the results point to a need for longitudinal studies of developmental
trajectories of neuroanatomical foundations of behavioral adjustment.
