For example, in normative populations, past work has suggested a link between children's anterior
cingulate volume with performance on a Go / No - Go task [43].

The results suggested that greater leaning towards liberalism was associated with increased gray matter in the anterior
cingulated cortex, whereas greater embracing of conservatism corresponded to increased
volume of the right amygdale.
Finally, we were able to show that higher
volume in the anterior
cingulate cortex was an intermediary in the relationship between omega - 3 fatty acids and cognitive flexibility.»
Comparing MRI brain images of eight Dobermans with CCD to the control group, Ogata found that the CCD group had higher total brain and gray matter
volumes, lower gray matter densities in the dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex and right anterior insula, and higher fractional anisotropy in the splenium of the corpus callosum (the degree of which correlated with the severity of the behavioral traits).
By contrast, females on average had higher density in the left frontal pole, and larger
volumes in the right frontal pole, inferior and middle frontal gyri, pars triangularis, planum temporale / parietal operculum, anterior
cingulate gyrus, insular cortex, and Heschl's gyrus; bilateral thalami and precuneus; the left parahippocampal gyrus, and lateral occipital cortex.
Specifically, males on average had larger
volumes and higher tissue densities in the left amygdala, hippocampus, insular cortex, putamen; higher densities in the right VI lobe of the cerebellum and in the left claustrum; and larger
volumes in the bilateral anterior parahippocampal gyri, posterior
cingulate gyri, precuneus, temporal poles, and cerebellum, areas in the left posterior and anterior
cingulate gyri, and in the right amygdala, hippocampus, and putamen.
Higher expenditure of energy was associated with larger gray matter
volumes in the parietal, temporal and frontal lobes, which included the basal ganglia, posterior
cingulate and hippocampus.
A recent fMRI study showed that the MAOA genotype at risk for impulsivity and violent behavior is associated with reduced gray matter
volumes in limbic regions such as the amygdala, dorsal anterior
cingulated cortex (dACC), and subgenual ACC and greater amygdala and subgenual ACC responsivity to negative emotional faces [25].
