Fig. 2.

Illustrated is the negative correlation between cortical thickness asymmetry changes in the triangular part of the IFG (colored in black) and changes of language performance in children between the ages of 5 and 6 years. Of note, the x-axis indicates the changes of the laterality index across time adjusted for covariates of no interest, namely baseline age, gender, non-verbal IQ, and handedness; the y-axis indicates the changes in language abilities (i.e., TSVK raw scores) adjusted for covariates of no interest.
