Table 3.
Significant structural morphometric comparisons of ipsilateral amygdala complexes and subnuclei among patient groups and controls. Data are presented in mean(±SDs). TLE, temporal lobe epilepsy; BLA, basolateral complex; #: indicate the descriptive analyses and statistics regarding the entire population; *: indicate the descriptive analysis and statistics regarding the TLE subgroup only; °: P‐values from pairwise comparison analysis were adjusted using FDR (false discovery rate) correction.
