There is an error in Table 2. The column headings, “WM volume,” “GM volume,” “CC volume,” “Cerebellum volume,” and “DTI measurements Fasciculi” are missing. Additionally the row headings, “Oral language,” “Verbal Fluency (executive functioning and language),” and “Written language: (reading/spelling)” are missing.
Table 2. Study results.
A ‘+’ refers to a positive correlation; a ‘–’ refers to a negative correlation; a ‘0’ refers to no significant correlation. Abbreviations: CC = Corpus Callosum; f = females; fr = frontal lobe; GM = gray matter; m = males; L = left; par = parietal lobe; R = right; read = reading; SGA: small for gestational age; spel = spelling; spl = splenium; temp = temporal lobe; WM = white matter.
