---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) Typically developing versus AD | Raw volumes (cm3) | Multiple linear regression | Performance IQ (measured as number of SDs from normal) | Total brain volume (cm3) | Table 5 |
(2) AD with no stereotypies at school age versus AD with 1–10 stereotypies at school age versus more than 10 stereotypies at school age | Standardized volumes representing each subject’s deviation from a TD subject of the same gender, measured in number of SDs | Multiple linear regression | Actual performance IQ | Total brain volume (cm3) | Table 6 |
