Child sex is associated with GM volumes. Panel a: Multiple regression showed that males have larger total GM volume in infancy compared with females (adjusted for birthweight, gestational age at MRI, gestational age at birth, and scanner). Panel b: DBM identifies associations between sex and local GM volumes (adjusting for birthweight, gestational age at MRI, gestational age at birth, scanner, and ICV). Regions where females have relatively larger GM volumes are shown in red and regions where males have relatively larger GM volumes are shown in blue. Significant clusters projected onto surface-rendered views of the left and right hemispheres; lateral view (top), medial view (bottom).
