TIV = total intracranial volume; P-values for structural volumes were based on calculations of ratios between the respective structural volume and the TIV.
HeW had smaller TIV than both male groups; There was no difference between HeM and HoM in TIV. Right caudate volume/TIV was larger in HeW compared to HeM, p = .001 and HoM, p = .020; The corresponding p-values for the left caudate/TIV were .003 and .018. The right hippocampus volume/TIV was larger in HeW than HeM (p = .007), and HoM (p = .007). For the left hippocampus/TIV the corresponding p-values were .036 and p = .063. There was no significant difference between HeM and HoM in the caudate/TIV or hippocampus/TIV. The left thalamus volume/TIV was smaller in HoM compared to HeW (p = .003) but not to HeM (p = .053). The corresponding p-values for the right thalamus volume/TIV were .044 and .420. No significant difference was detected between the two control groups in the thalamus volumes.
