Table 3. Significant group difference in GM volume.

Controls > Patients Patients > Controls
Z-level Size (cm3) Coordinates
Left middle frontal gyrus 4.3 1.9 25–11 59
Anterior cingulate cortex (BA 32) # 3.4 0.5 −39 6 46 NONE
Right middle frontal gyrus 5.0 2.1 −2 31 13

# Cluster showing a significant group difference when using a limbic mask comprising the anterior cingulate cortex, the mPFC, the insular cortex, the hippocampus and the amygdala, using peak threshold at p = 0.001, FDR corrected at p<0.05. The other clusters were calculated with same level of significance, but using the entire brain as search space (no a priori hypothesis).

No group differences were observed in white matter volumes and no significant clusters were detected when reversing the contrast (using the contrast: stressed patients – controls).
