Global associations between regional gray matter volume and diverse complex cognitive functions: evidence from a large sample study

Abstract Correlations between regional gray matter volume (rGMV) and psychometric test scores have been measured to investigate the neural bases for individual differences in complex cognitive abilities (CCAs). However, such studies have yielded different rGMV correlates of the same CCA. Based on th...
