  • Statistical models were corrected for population stratification (first four principal components), age, sex, scanner device, handedness, intracranial volume, parental education and family income.

  • *Survives Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (p<0.05/16=3.13×10−3).

  • †Structure not part of the canonical cortical reading network.
