Extended Data Fig. 6: Histograms of signal dynamics categories (stochastic or deterministic) by gestational age (fetuses, left column) and age (newborns, right column).
From: Sex differences in prenatal development of neural complexity in the human brain
The first row shows results from global standards (a,b) and the second row shows results from global deviants (c,d). Both fetuses and newborns displayed a mixture of stochastic and deterministic dynamics. In fetuses, the majority of recordings were deterministic, whereas in newborns, the majority of recordings were stochastic. Dynamics were not significantly predicted by maturation in either group, though the proportion of recordings with stochastic dynamics was significantly higher in newborns than in fetuses (two-tailed chi-squared test using all data from both global standards and deviants, χ2 = 28.6, P = 9.1 × 10−8).
