Analyzing brain data by sex: Are we asking the right question?
Abstract
The authors have withdrawn their manuscript because in revising it following a Reviewers comment, they realized the data no longer suit one of their requirements. Specifically, the Reviewer noted that they had a mistake in their code for correction for brain size. Following this correction, the authors realized that most of the corrected measures do not fit a Gaussian distribution, thereby rendering their approach mathematically unjustified. Therefore, the authors do not wish this work to be cited as reference for the project. If you have any questions, please contact the corresponding author.
