Structural brain changes in the SA vs HC and SA vs MAD groups.
SA vs HC | GMV |
Decreased: in the left and right DLPFC, OFC, ventral/medial PFC, amygdala; in the right VLPFC, the middle temporal gyrus; Increased: in the right parietal lobe. |
---|---|---|
Gray Matter Density | Decreased: in the VMPFC. | |
SA vs MAD | GMV | Decreased: in the left and right DLPFC, ventral/medial PFC, amygdala, hippocampus; in the right VLPFC, inferior frontal orbital gyrus; in the left caudate, angular gyrus, limbic cingulate gyrus; Increased: in the PFC regions, insula and the right amygdala. |
Cortical Thickness | Decreased: in the left DLPFC, VLPFC, fronto-parietal regions, insula; and the anterior cingulate. | |
Gray Matter Density | Increased: in the left striatum. |
DLPFC: dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; GMV: gray matter volume; HC: healthy control; MAD: middle-aged depression; OFC: orbital frontal cortex; PFC: prefrontal cortex; SA: suicide attempts; VLPFC: ventrolateral prefrontal cortex; VMPFC: ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
