Gender differences and age-related white matter changes of the human brain: A diffusion tensor imaging study (2008, neutral): “Also, in this VBM study, the coregistration procedure was confined to global affine degrees of freedom (i.e., rotation, translation, scale, and skew).”
Head size, age and gender adjustment in MRI studies: a necessary nuisance? (2010, methodology): “Male gender has been shown to be associated with larger cerebral volumes (Gur et al., 1991; Sowell et al., 2007) which disappears with head size correction (Scahill et al.”
A Baseline for the Multivariate Comparison of Resting-State Networks (2011, result): “…effects are smaller and some findings lack consistency, however studies concur that females show modest increases in gray matter volume localized to frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices and basal ganglia (BG) structures (Good et al., 2001; Luders et al., 2005, 2009; Sowell et al., 2007).”
The Gender Gap (2014, neutral): “Females’ stronger neural connections and associations between hemispheres (e.g., Bishop and Wahlsten, 1997; Sowell et al., 2007) provide more symmetric (i.e., integrated) hemispheric organization (Everhart et al., 2001).”
Unique developmental trajectories of cortical thickness and surface area (2014, neutral): “Greater thickness for females than in males has been reported before in similar regions (Luders et al., 2006; Sowell et al., 2006).”
Efficient, Distributed and Interactive Neuroimaging Data Analysis Using the LONI Pipeline (2009, neutral): “The LONI Pipeline already has been used in a number of neuroimaging applications including health (Sowell et al., 2007), disease (Thompson et al., 2003), animal models (MacKenzie-Graham et al., 2006), volumetric (Luders et al., 2006), functional (Rasser et al., 2005), shape (Narr et al., 2007) and…”
Harmonization of cortical thickness measurements across scanners and sites (2017, background): “Sowell et al., 2006; Gennatas et al., 2017).”
Gender Differences in Human Brain: A Review (2010, neutral): “Sexual dimorphism has been reported in the cortical volume of the Wernicke and Broca areas [21], as well as in the frontal and medial paralimbic cortices [5] [19] [22] [23].”
Age- and gender-related differences in the cortical anatomical network (2009, result): “The observation that the aging network becomes less connected (costs more) is expected, as previous studies have consistently demonstrated extensive WM degeneration in aging brains (Head et al., 2004; Pfefferbaum et al., 2005; Salat et al., 2005).”
Brain maturation in adolescence and young adulthood: regional age-related changes in cortical thickness and white matter volume and microstructure. (2010, background): “no difference, and some showing enlargements in females (Sowell et al. 2007).”
Mentalization-based treatment for self-harm in adolescents: a randomized controlled trial. (2012, background): “It is common in community samples,(2) and the incidence of self-harm without suicidal intent is increasing.(3) Self-harm in clinical groups is associated with negative outcomes.”

Evolving knowledge of sex differences in brain structure, function, and chemistry. (2007, background): “Understanding of sex differences in the developing human brain is rapidly increasing (23,29,30).”

Sex differences in the adult human brain: Evidence from 5,216 UK Biobank participants (2017, result): “Our finding that raw cortical thickness was greater for females—a finding with a smaller mean effect than the one in the opposite direction for volume or surface area—is consistent with a number of previous, smaller studies (e.g., Luders et al. 2006; Sowell et al. 2007; Lv et al. 2010; van Velsen et”
