ANCOVA (analyses of covariance) were adjusted for age and intracranial volume. Only statistically significant between group differences are reported. Regions that remained significant after Bonferroni correction marked with asterisk. Bonferroni correction within each lobe/subcortical regions were applied: (1) frontal lobe included 11 regions (superior frontal gyrus, rostral and caudal middle frontal gyrus, pars triangularis, pars opercularis, pars orbitalis, medial and lateral orbito-frontal gyrus, frontal pole, precentral gyrus, and paracentral lobule), corrected P=0.005; (2) temporal lobe included 8 regions (superior, medial, inferior, transverse, fusiform, parahippocampal gyri, entorhinal cortex, and temporal pole), corrected P = 0.006; (3) cingulate gyrus included 4 regions (rostral and caudal anterior cingulate, isthmus and posterior cingulate), corrected P=0.01; parietal lobe included 5 regions (superior, inferior, precentral and supramarginal gyri, and precuneus), corrected P=0.01; occipital lobe included 4 regions (cuneus, lingual, pericalcarine, and lateral occipital gyri), corrected P=0.01; limbic system included 3 regions (hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus), corrected P=0.02; basal ganglia included 3 regions (caudate, putamen, globus pallidus), corrected P=0.02.
