I agree that the sample size might be a bit small so it could be noise, but the study did went 6-month not 6-weeks.

And there are findings like these https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Or it could be a problem of seeking statistical detection of any difference whatsoever versus detecting a practically meaningful difference... a type III error (answering the wrong question).

Thanks, that sounds more reasonable. I'm still generally bearish on this type of brain-volume-change work (and extremely so on any study trying to compare brain-volume effects between different groups), but I guess 6-months is a finer premise.
