ANCOVA results controlling for age and sex. Significant effects that survived multiple comparison correction (using FDR) at p_corr < 0.05 are indicated in bold while effects at p < 0.05 uncorrected that did not survive multiple comparison correction are indicated by *. Effect sizes (η² ranging between 0 and 1) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI in square brackets) are given
