Many brain structures show a complex, non-linear pattern of maturation and age-related change. Often, quadratic models (β0+β1age+β2age2+ε) are used to describe such relationships. Here, we demonstrate that the fitting of quadratic models is substantially affected by seemingly irrelevant factors, such as the age-range sampled. Hippocampal volume was...
