The relationship between neuronal density and age at the time of death in layer IIIc of the orbitofrontal cortex in (A) subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) and (B) normal control subjects. Subjects aged <50 years were previously reported (Rajkowska et al 1999). Note that there is a statistically significant correlation between the neuronal density and age in MDD but not in the control group, indicating a greater age-related diminution of neuronal density in depressed subjects as compared with age-matched nondepressed control subjects.
