Development of specific structures. (a) Development of the ventricles, corpus callosum and amygdala shown as scatter plots of volume in mm3 by age in months. (b) Development of the caudate, putamen, and hippocampus. Scatter plots in the left column represent absolute volume. Scatter plots in the right column represent volume as a percentage of ICV. Note that for the lateral ventricles, caudate, and hippocampus as a proportion of ICV; there was no significant difference in curve and intercept by gender, so a common regression model was fitted to both genders (represented by a red and blue striped line). Regional volumes are the sum of the bilateral regions in both hemispheres.
