^aEffect size is measured by the standardized partial coefficient of the age term. AAL, Automated anatomical labeling; ↓, developmental decreases in amygdala with mPFC was reported in the cited study. AAL indicates that the amygdala ROI was derived based on AAL atlas.

^bNo significant developmental changes were found in the cited study.
