Sarah,
Yes you can use 3dttest++ for the analysis with age as a covariate. The program will automatically outputs each group's age effect, the group difference in age effect, each group's average connectivity, and the group difference in connectivity. One caveat is that, if you're interested in each group's average connectivity and the group difference in connectivity, you need to properly center the age values. If the groups have roughly the same average age, then it's pretty straightforward; however, if the average age significantly differs between the groups, you have to be careful about the centering for the age values. Regarding this plus interpreting the output sub-bricks, read the help information in
