Brain regions where gray matter density was associated with academic performance.
| Region | BA | Peak MNI coordinate | Peak T score | Cluster size (mm3) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| x | y | z | ||||
| Correlation with CNCEE | ||||||
| Left DLPFC | 9/10 | −30 | 58 | 28 | 4.99 | 1552 |
| Correlation with term examination | ||||||
| Left DLPFC | 9/10 | −30 | 58 | 26 | 5.04 | 2224 |
Note: DLPFC = dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; BA = Brodmann’s area; MNI = Montreal Neurological Institute; CNCEE = Chinese National College Entrance Examination. We set the threshold for significant regions to p < 0.05 at the cluster level with an underlying p < 0.001 at the voxel level (non-stationary cluster correction).
