(A) Standardized pairwise mean estrogen receptor (ER) density differences in pre-specified regions of interest (left) and voxel-based analysis clusters (right) between menopause statuses are expressed as Cohen’s d coefficients, where d≥0.8 reflects a large effect size.
(B) Schematic illustration of brain regions yielding maximum group separation, superimposed on a volumetric template MRI image.
