a Before and b after adjusting for total brain tissue volume. Note: Group-by-time regression coefficients from linear mixed effects models (β) in blue refer to negative associations (slower growth in the very preterm compared with the full-term group) and in red refer to positive associations (faster growth in the very preterm compared with the full-term group), with darker coloured regression coefficients indicating stronger associations; Interaction p values are false discovery rate corrected and darker coloured p values indicate stronger significance; Boxes in the top right corner of the figures represent global brain volumes.
