- The paper reports the first meta-analysis of typical sex differences on global brain volume, a descriptive account of the breakdown of studies of each compartmental volume by six age categories, and whole-brain voxel-wise meta-analyses on brain volume and density. Cited by more than 400 peer reviewed articles (Science Direct article metrics 2021), the structural differences reported are an important benchmark in the monitoring of growth trajectories for clinicians and researchers who are interested in understanding sex-biased neurological and psychiatric conditions. Support for the study being provided by the Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Council (MRC) Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute.
