Table 2. Reaction times (RT) in milliseconds and accuracy of response (AC) in unmedicated depressed subjects and their matched healthy controls during fMRI sessions. Data represent mean and standard deviation across three variables (RMET, gender attribution, and cued-motor response) and four conditions (pre-oxytocin, post-oxytocin, pre-placebo, and post-placebo).
