Fig 7. Neonatal NAA concentrations in white matter and subcortical gray matter regions were significantly associated with performance on the mobile conjugate reinforcement paradigm at 4 months of age, controlling for PMA and sex.
NAA concentrations in the SLF and splenium of the corpus callosum were significantly positively associated with learning (b and c). NAA concentrations in the SLF and genu of the corpus callosum were significantly inversely associated with immediate and long-term retention (d and e). P-values are FDR-corrected and color coded if corrected p is < .05. Warm colors (red, orange) indicate significant positive associations and cool colors (shades of blue) indicate significant inverse associations, with higher degrees of warmth/coolness corresponding to smaller FDR-corrected p-values as shown in the color bar. SLF, superior longitudinal fasciculus; CCs, splenium of corpus callosum; CCg, genu of corpus callosum; Insp, posterior insula; Th, thalamus; Insa, anterior insula; BG, basal ganglia; MB, midbrain.
