The volume reduction of the right precentral gyrus will contribute to the affective and cognitive abnormities in adolescents with MDD.
Figure 1. Diminished cortical volume in the right precentral gyrus in patients with first-episode drug-naïve MDD compared to HC (cluster level; x=58.7, y=6.5, z=18.2, vertex=19, cluster size= 979.27mm2, -log10(p)= -2.04, Monte-Carlo corrected). Negative values for -log10(p) represent a decreased cortical volume in patients with MDD.
Figure 3. (A)Volume correlations with HAMD scores in MDD patients. (B) Thickness correlations with HAMA scores in MDD patients. (C).Surface area correlations with PSQI scores in MDD patients. “L” indicates the left hemisphere. “R” indicates the right hemisphere. The color bar represents the -log10(p) values from −5 to −2.5 and 2.5 to 5.
