### Instructions for use ### 
  - To run statistical analyses and generate relevant figures open and run the included csv and gii and R files.
  - T1-weighted MR imaging data was processed with CAT12 and FreeSurfer (see **manuscript methods**).
  - Brain imaging, behavioral and anthropometric data were used from Taubert et al. (2010), Lehmann et al. (2020) and Aye et al. (2021) (see **manuscript methods**). 
  - Residualization of ROI-wise cortical folding and learning values was performed with SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 28.0.1.0, Armonk, NY). All covariates for residualization are included in behavioral_data.csv. As an example in behavioral_data.csv, learning rate was residualized for differences in initial performance and study participation.  

### Dependencies/Requirements ###
  - [R](https://www.r-project.org) and [Rstudio](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) are required to run R files for structural equation modelling (in addition to that you need to download the following R packages: lavaan, haven, semhelpinghands).

### Associated data ###
  - All associated data needed to implement the main statistical analyses is included in the repository under the *repository* directory.
