Table A.2.

Correlations between gray matter volume and symptom severity (duration and pain intensity) in patients only. All regions survived a voxel-level height threshold of t = 3.79, and 30 contiguous voxels. Negation direction means lesser gray matter volume was associated with greater illness duration or severity.
