Figure 1.

Gestational age at MRI is strongly associated with GM volumes. Panel a: Multiple regression showed that gestational age at MRI has a strong, positive association with total GM volume in infancy (adjusted for birthweight, sex, gestational age at birth, and scanner). Panel b: DBM identifies associations between gestational age at MRI and local GM volumes (adjusting for birthweight, sex, gestational age at birth, scanner, and ICV). Positive associations, indicating fast-growing regions are shown in red and negative associations, indicating slow-growing regions are shown in blue. Significant clusters projected onto surface-rendered views of the left and right hemispheres; lateral view (top), medial view (bottom).
