Abbreviations: DLPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; DVR, distribution volume ratio; HV, healthy volunteers; MDD, major depressive disorder; MPRF, medial prefrontal cortex; OPFC, orbital prefrontal cortex; 2TCM, two-tissue compartment model.

a

P-values based on Pearson product–moment correlation coefficients between DVR and DVR'.

b

N=13, as for one subject the model did not converge.
