Table 1.

This table lists the correlation coefficient (r), calculated P-value, and “q-value” for the significant correlations included in Figure 8. The “q-value” was generated from the list of p-values and multiplied by 100 to illustrate the chance for false positives to occur for a given correlation. Only correlations with less than a 10% chance for false positives are included. The data are listed by the strength of the correlation (in descending order) for each group separately. Abbreviations Abbreviations: IMD = intermediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus, CeM = central medial nucleus of the thalamus, DL Caudate = dorsolateral portion of the posterior caudate, VM Caudate = ventromedial portion of the posterior caudate, PVT = paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus, MH = medial habenula, Core = core of the nucleus accumbens, Shell = shell of the nucleus accumbens, Septum = lateral septum, OFC = orbitofrontal cortex.
