August 18, 2015
Findings from the study by Jensen et al published in JAMA Pediatrics this week. Gray matter volumes from 494 male participants were extracted using the FreeSurfer software in 30 regions of interest, shown here on an inflated brain (top: frontal view; bottom: medial views). Regions of interest found to associate with early adversity or internalizing symptoms are shown in red, while regions of interest that did not associate with adversity or internalizing symptoms are shown in blue. '-' indicates an association with lower volume, '+' indicates an association with greater volume. Image courtesy of Sarah K. G. Jensen.
