a–d, Causal mediation analysis reveals partial mediation effects of the caudate and globus pallidus on the association between sociodemographic factors (sex, maternal education and family income) and visual reception scores in children born full term. a,b, Mediation by the caudate on the effect of sex (a; P = 0.0052) and low family income (b; P = 0.015) on visual reception scores (N = 760). c,d, Mediation by the globus pallidus on the effect of sex (c; P = 0.0004) and low maternal education (d; P = 0.0012) on visual reception scores (N = 659). Bootstrapping was used to estimate P values; *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001. No correction for multiple comparisons was performed.
