Total brain is composed of gray matter + white matter + intraventricular CSF. All volumes are reported in cubic millimeters. All structures were entered into a univariate general linear model to examine how ICV, sex, and group (MJ or CON) affected variance of volumes of structures.

*p < 0.05;

**p < 0.01;

***p < 0.001, uncorrected for multiple comparisons.
