This figure shows the associations between DC ratio, prefrontal-amygdalar structural covariance and working memory. The negative prefrontal-amygdalar covariance seen at higher DC ratios were associated with higher scores on higher scores on a ‘real-world’ parent rating of overall working memory (BRIEF). See Results for more detailed statistics.
All analyses consisted of mixed effects models that included all longitudinal data, as well as continuous measures of DC ratios and cognitive scores. Please note the Y axes of graphs list standardized residuals of cortical thickness (accounting for the effects of age, sex, handedness, scanner, and total brain volume in all analyses, as well as collection time for hormonal analyses).
