Table 2. Regional differences in the BOLD response to masked-sad faces versus masked-happy faces (SN-HN) in patients with major depressive disorder and healthy controls.

Condition Region SN-HN
Stereotaxic Coordinates Cluster size* Z-value#
X Y Z
MDD>HC L Hippocampus −28 −24 −12 146* 3.60
L Hippocampus −28 −14 −14 3.47
L Amygdala −26 −3 −15 3.10
R Amygdala/Anterior Inferotemporal C 38 −5 −22 12 3.18

Abbreviations: L = left; R = right; MDD = major depressive disorder; HC = healthy control; SN = masked-sad faces; HN = masked-happy faces; SN-HN = masked-sad versus masked-happy faces; C = cortex.

The cluster size was significant after applying a cluster threshold of k = 23 voxels using Monte Carlo simulations implemented in AFNI's AlphaSim program to correct for multiple comparisons.

The statistical t-values for these regions are reported in the text, while corresponding z-values are reported in the table.

The peak amygdala coordinate varies slightly from those reported in our previous paper [8] because here we report results for SN-HN based on a different statistical approach (2×3 ANOVA).
