Brain volume and intelligence: The moderating role of intelligence measurement quality (2017, methodology): “The Pietschnig et al. (2015) meta-analysis did not include the standard deviations associated with the cognitive ability test scores, consequently, we searched for the standard deviations within all of the relevant empirical research papers.”
Longitudinal changes in grey and white matter during adolescence (2010, neutral): “, 2005), working memory capacity, and reading ability (Nagy et al., 2004) andwith language-related cognitive tests in adolescent males (Ashtari et al.”
A Developmental Perspective on Executive Function (2010, background): “Nagy, Westerberg, and Klingberg (2004) reported that the development of visuo-spatial WM from age 8 to 18 correlated with myelination in regions primarily of the frontal lobe close to the parietal lobe (superior and inferior left frontal lobe), whereas the development of reading ability correlated…”
Investigating White Matter Development in Infancy and Early Childhood using Myelin Water Faction and Relaxation Time Mapping (2012, background): “The sensitivity of diffusion-tensor (DT)-MRI to gross fiber architecture has made DT-MRI a popular choice for investigating white matter maturation (Bashat et al., 2007; Bosnell et al., 2008; Moseley, 2002; Nagy et al., 2004), with metrics including fraction anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), a”
Imaging the developing brain: what have we learned about cognitive development? (2005, positive): “In these studies, measures of brain connectivity were correlated with development, but specificity of the involvement of particular fiber tracts in cognitive performance was shown by dissociating the particular tract [25] or cognitive ability [ 24 ].”
Developmental Stages and Sex Differences of White Matter and Behavioral Development through Adolescence: A Longitudinal Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Study (2013, positive): “Previous studies have shown correlations between cross-sectional age group developmental time courses of cognitive behavior and white matter growth, particularly in frontoparietal pathways (Liston et al., 2006; Nagy et al., 2004; Tamnes et al., 2012; Vestergaard et al., 2011); however, these studies”
The Adolescent Brain (2008, background): “In developmental DTI studies, fiber tract measures were correlated with age, but specificity of particular fiber tracts with cognitive performance were shown by dissociating the particular tract (Liston et al. 2006) or cognitive ability (Nagy et al. 2004).”
Executive Functions after Age 5: Changes and Correlates (2009, background): “Neuroimaging studies also point to continued changes in brain activity associated with WM through childhood and adolescence (e.g., Klingberg, Forssberg, & Westerberg, 2002; Nagy et al., 2004; Scherf, Sweeney, & Luna, 2006).”
Discriminative and affective touch: sensing and feeling. (2014, background): “As outlined above, social isolation postpartum results in adult behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dysfunction, which Nagy et al. (2004) has shown correlates with white matter alterations in the frontal lobes.”
The teen brain: insights from neuroimaging. (2008, background): “Specifically, high anisotropy in the temporal lobe correlates with memory capacity [34], in the frontal lobe with language ability [34], in frontal and occipitoparietal association areas with IQ [35], in temporal and parietal areas with reading ability [36–38], and in frontostriatal areas with the a”
The adolescent brain. (2008, background): “Across both developmental DTI studies, fiber tract measures were correlated with development, but specificity of particular fiber tracts with cognitive performance were shown by dissociating the particular tract (Liston et al., 2005) or cognitive ability (Nagy et al., 2004).”
