Figure 1. Difference in cortical thickness between depressed groups.

Figure 1

Map of regions in the left hemisphere where cortical gray matter thickness differs between suicidal and nonsuicidal depressed groups. Blue regions are those areas where cortical thickness is lower in the suicidal group, including the insula (p = 0.0001, peak MNI coordinates −33.5, 1.4, 6.5), caudal middle frontal gyrus (p=0.0169; peak −24.5, 4.1, 42.9), superior parietal gyrus (p=0.0448; peak −31.3, 46.7, 48.2) and superior temporal gyrus (p=0.0119, peak −52.6, −10.6, 0.4). There were no differences in cortical thickness in the right hemisphere and no regions where the nonsuicidal depressed cohort exhibited smaller cortical thickness.
