We present for the first time a large cohort of neonatal brain MR images were acquired. Based on 505 subjects' MRI brain imaging data were acquired as part of the developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP) , we investigated the differences of 92 brain regions and brain volume without and with normalization of the volumes. Using multivariate analysis and adaptive step-down false discovery rate (FDR) control methods to examine term born neonates, we found 90 out of 92 regions and the brain volume statistically significant between sexes. But selected data normalization methods also suggested less statistical significance in neonatal brain regions.
