Fig 8. Scatterplots for representative voxels showing correlation of neonatal NAA concentrations with 4-month performance on the mobile conjugate reinforcement paradigm.

NAA concentrations in the SLF (b and d) were significantly positively associated with learning skills (a and c), while controlling for PMA and sex. NAA concentrations in a different portion of the SLF (f) were significantly inversely associated with long-term retention (e). FDR-corrected p-values are shown in the color bar. Metabolite data in the scatterplots were sampled from the regions indicated by the white dots. NAA is shown in arbitrary units (a.u.).
