Brain regions whose gray matter volume is correlated with trait conscientiousness.

Positive correlation | |||||
Left superior parietal lobe | −22 | −80 | 50 | 4.99 | 1640 |
Right superior parietal lobe | 36 | −78 | 48 | 4.84 | 2664 |
Negative correlation | |||||
Right middle frontal gyrus | 20 | 6 | 44 | −5.18 | 1936 |
Note: The non-stationary cluster correction was employed to determine the regions of significance with the following settings: p < 0.05 at the cluster level and p < 0.0025 at the underlying voxel level. MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute.
