Figure 3.
Scatter plots of age effects on subcortical structures. The scatter plots show the individual data points and the aging pattern for women (red) and men (blue) for selected subcortical structures after ICV corrections of the volumes (the y-axes denote z-scores of the residuals). The numbers above each plot are the R2 for women (red) and men (blue), respectively, including the contributions from both the linear and the nonlinear terms. Above the plots, the three-dimensional renderings of the structures are shown, based on the average brains of ∼70 participants below 40 years. Note that these are rescaled for the figure, and so their size cannot be visually compared. The age effects did not differ between women and men.
