Fig. 3: Effect size (Pearson’s r) between change (Post1 – Pre) in regional brain volume and average sleep, exercise, self-reported arousal measures, and cognitive performance during the winter-over.
From: Transient gray matter decline during antarctic isolation: Roles of sleep, exercise, and cognition
Cells in the table are labeled by positive (green) and negative (red) associations between change in brain volume and average behavior/performance. Positive correlation coefficients indicate that high values in the behavior/performance domain were associated with gray matter volume preservation, whereas negative correlation coefficients indicate high values in the behavior/performance domain were associated with gray matter volume loss.
