Descriptive data and univariate ANCOVA results for main effect of group for neuroimaging data.
AE (n = 32) M (SD) | CON (n = 21) M (SD) | p | η2 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Anterior cingulate cortex surface area | ||||
Right rostral ACC* | 619.9 (102.4) | 720.5 (158.8) | .005 | .152 |
Right caudal ACC*,† | 689.1 (135.9) | 837.6 (163.7) | <.001 | .211 |
Left rostral ACC | 778.6 (136.5) | 857.2 (165.7) | .039 | .084 |
Left caudal ACC | 652.1 (140.7) | 715.5 (147.4) | .098 | .055 |
ACC = anterior cingulate cortex, AE = children with prenatal alcohol exposure, CON = non-exposed control subjects. Age and sex included as covariates in all analyses. Surface area measured in mm2.
After correction for multiple comparisons, only right rostral and right caudal ACC remained significantly different between groups (p < .0125).
After covarying for ICV, only the right caudal ACC remained significantly different between groups (p < .0125).
