Correlations between FA and measures of general intelligence and executive functions.

(a and b): White matter tracts for which there was positive correlation between FA and executive function measures in the preterm group.
Fig 1a: Results of TBSS analyses examining correlations between FA and working memory scores, superimposed on a group mean FA image in axial orientation. Yellow-red areas indicate white matter tract regions in which positive correlations were seen at p < 0.05 (TFCE; corrected for multiple comparisons); results are controlled for age at MRI and sex. For details of regions, see Table 2. Fig 1b: Results of TBSS analyses examining correlations between FA and cognitive flexibility score, superimposed on a group mean FA image in axial orientation. Yellow-red areas indicate white matter tract regions in which positive correlations were seen at p < 0.05 (TFCE; corrected for multiple comparisons); results are controlled for age at MRI and sex. For details of regions, see Table 2.

Fig 2a: Results of TBSS analyses examining correlations between FA and Performance IQ, superimposed on a group mean FA image in axial orientation. Yellow-red areas indicate white matter tract regions in which positive correlations were seen at p < 0.05 (TFCE; corrected for multiple comparisons). Results are controlled for age at MRI and sex. For details of regions, see Table 2. Fig 2b: Results of TBSS analyses examining correlations between FA and Verbal IQ, superimposed on a group mean FA image in axial orientation. Yellow-red areas indicate white matter tract regions in which positive correlations were seen at p < 0.05 (TFCE; corrected for multiple comparisons). Results are controlled for age at MRI and sex.
