Hierarchical relations among structural alterations in very preterm individuals compared to controls. (a). Grey matter volume (GMV). (b). Grey matter hemispheric lateralisation (LI). The distinction between region-specific ‘absolute’ and ‘relative’ alterations was made on the basis of post-hoc analysis of raw regional GMVs or raw modular GMV (i.e. unresidualised with respect to global GMV, see Supplementary Materials Creating Hierarchy of Structural Markers). ‘Absolute’ = presence of statistically significant group difference in raw GMVs. ‘Relative’ = no statistically significant group difference in raw GMVs. Ant. = anterior; Caud. = caudal; Inf. = inferior; Lat. = lateral; Mid. = middle; Post. = posterior; Rost. = rostral; Sup. = superior; N. = nucleus.
