(A) Group comparison of whole amygdala volumes. Estimated marginal means of left and right whole amygdala volumes (in mm³) are shown as bar charts with SE (in mm³) as error bars. Bold letters indicate statistical significance. (B) Relationship between whole amygdala volume and variables of premature birth. The associations between left and right whole amygdala volume and GA, BW and duration of ventilation are shown as scatter plots. GA (in weeks), BW (in grams) and duration of ventilation (in days) are plotted on the x-axes. Whole amygdala volumes (in mm³) are plotted on the y-axes. Linear regression lines as well as correlation coefficients and p-values were added. Bold letters indicate statistical significance after FDR correction using the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure. Abbreviations: BW, birth weight; FT, full term; GA, gestational age; L, left; n. s., not significant; R, right; VP/VLWB, very preterm and/or very low birth weight.
