Table 1. Regions showing significant changes in VMHC between depression patients before and after ECT.
Brain regions | BA | Voxel number | t-score | MNI coordinates (x, y, z) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Superior frontal gyri | 8 | 42 | 5.6490 | ±9, 42, 45 |
Middle frontal gyri | 8/9 | 35 | 6.0747 | ±48, 15, 45 |
10 | 33 | 7.2623 | ±42, 51, -3 | |
Angular gyri | 39 | 97 | 6.1551 | ±48, −66, 27 |
Abbreviations: BA, Brodmann area; ECT, electroconvulsive therapy; VHMC, voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity; MNI coordinates, Montreal Neurological Institute coordinates of the peak voxel; t, statistical value of the peak voxel; 1 voxel=3 × 3 × 3 mm3. VMHC computation bases on a symmetrical template, so the MNI coordinates of the peak voxel is also symmetrical.
