Volumes are measured in cm3, p-values are presented uncorrected for multiple comparison. Abbreviations: HC, unaffected healthy control subjects; HR-MDD, individuals at high risk for mood disorders who were well at baseline but developed major depressive disorder during the follow-up period; HR-well, individuals at high risk of mood disorders who were well at baseline and remained well during the follow-up period; L, left; lat, ateral; R, right, SD, standard deviation.
