a For right frontal white matter, the quadratic model also included a term for sex, which was statistically significant (P = 0.023), indicating a difference in intercepts between men and women. Results are displayed as separate regressions for men and women having different intercepts but the same linear and quadratic terms for age.

b Statistically significant after correcting for multiple comparison testing using the Bonferroni correction technique.
