Fig 2. Female patients with panic disorder showed significant inward deformation of shape in the bilateral thalamus compared with female healthy control subjects (false discovery rate corrected, P < .05).

These regions included (in the right thalamus) the anterior nucleus, medial mediodorsal nucleus, and lateral posterior nuclei (orange), and the medial part of pulvinar nucleus (green). In the left thalamus, the anterior nucleus, ventro-lateral nucleus, ventral anterior nucleus (orange), the medial part of pulvinar nucleus (green), and the lateral part of pulvinar nucleus (yellow) were affected. Abbreviations: Rt, right; Lt, left; ant, anterior view; post, posterior view; lat, lateral view; med, medial view; sup, superior view; inf, inferior view; 3D-images were created using 3D-Slicer.
