Table 3.

Two sample, two tailed t-test between the relative volumes of male (n = 24) and female (n = 17) groups. The second column indicates the p-value obtained from the t-test. Significance between relative size of regions between males and females is denoted by an asterisk in the third column. The third column indicates the direction of greater relative volume. Of specific interest is the cortex with females having significantly (p < 0.0001) larger relative cortex than males.
