The Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare measurements of Einstein’s corpus callosum with the two different age control groups, respectively.

# Standard deviation of measurements.

ΔEinstein’s maximum callosal thickness is significantly greater than that of both the old and young control groups.

The asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between the control groups and Einstein, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001.

CC = corpus callosum.
