Fig. 2: Hippocampal subfield myelination showed greater sensitivity to early stress than age.

From: Early life stress impairs hippocampal subfield myelination

Fig. 2

A The relationship between myelination (T1w/T2w ratio, y-axis) and age (x-axis). B The stress model showed better predictive power in a new dataset (R² values, warmer colors), than near-zero effect in the age model (R² values, cooler colours). C Subfield myelination in preterm-born, term-equivalent preterm-born, and term-born infants. Medians are indicated by thick black horizontal lines. The first and third quartiles are marked by the lower and upper edges of the boxes, respectively. Lower and upper whiskers extend to the smallest and largest value, respectively, within 1.5 times the interquartile range. Outlying values beyond these ranges are plotted individually. CA cornu ammonis, DG dentate gyrus, TE term equivalent.
