Table 3.

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.
