Note: Summary of regions exhibiting substantial gender differences in a GLM (ANCOVA). The MNI coordinates of the center of each region is specified, as are the total area over which significant correlations were observed at the indicated P-value, and the associated correlation coefficient, where negative indicates that women had a relatively larger region than men.

aGender differences persist at P < 0.00001.

bGender differences persist at P < 0.0001.

*All centers reported at P < 0.001; areas at P < 0.001; °areas at P < 0.0001.
