(a) A scatter plot of the derived structural MRI estimates from the 1,570 participants included in the present data release reveals expected relations between sex, intracranial volume (ICV), and brain volume. Histograms of both brain volume and ICV are represented on the x and y axes respectively. (b–e) Scatter plots display the correlations between age (2 year bins) and morphometric estimates of (b) ICV (Females r=−0.07; Males r=−0.01), (c) brain volume (Females r=−0.14; Males r=−0.11), (d) cortical surface area (Females r=−0.12; Males r=−0.05), and (e) mean cortical thickness (Females r=−0.28; Males r=−0.26). Note ICV differs by sex but minimally by age reflecting the sex difference in head size that is achieved by adolescence and remains stable. By contrast, cortical thickness is nearly identical between the sexes but decreases progressively with age.
