Table 2. Brain regions with significant group differences, corrected for multiple comparisons.
Group comparison | Finding | Brain region | Size | Talairach (x y z) | P-value* |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
CD with EIM vs. controls | Surface area ↑ in patients | Left rostral middle frontal gyrus | 1171 mm2 | -30.8 48.1 -0.2 | 0.0399 |
LGI ↑ in patients | Left lingual gyrus, extending to precuneus, cuneus, PHG and isthmus cingulate | 3632 mm2 | -8.6 -75.9 7.1 | 0.0001 | |
CD with EIM vs. CD without EIM | LGI ↑ in CD with EIM | Right rostral ACC, extending to superior frontal gyrus | 1980 mm2 | 8.6 33.5 5.3 | 0.0191 |
LGI ↓ in CD with EIM | Right insula | 2903 mm2 | 32.1 10.6 10.3 | 0.0008 |
ACC, Anterior cingulate cortex; CD, Crohn’s Disease; EIM, Extraintestinal manifestation; GMV, Gray matter volume; LGI, Local gyrification index; PHG, Parahippocampal gyrus
