Gray matter density (GMD) characteristics in probands grouped by
DSM-IV-TR diagnoses and their relatives, contrasted with healthy controls (HC).
(A) GMD reductions in probands by DSM-IV-TR diagnoses vs. HC.
The images show voxelwise t maps for GMD reductions in probands
grouped by conventional diagnoses relative to HC. (B) Regional
effect sizes for GMD reductions in probands by DSM-IV-TR diagnoses vs. HC. The
detected effect sizes are averaged for large brain regions (frontal, temporal,
occipital lobes, etc.) across the left and right hemispheres, except for
occipital (left) in bipolar probands, where only unilateral effect was depicted.
No regional between-group effects in basal ganglia, thalamus, or cerebellum were
found in bipolar probands vs. HC. (C) Whole brain GMD distributions
in probands by DSM-IV-TR diagnoses and HC. The histogram plots depict
within-group distributions of whole brain GMDs in probands grouped by
conventional diagnoses vs. HC. (D) GMD reductions in relatives by
DSM-IV-TR diagnoses vs. HC (exploratory findings). The images show voxelwise
t maps for GMD reductions in first-degree relatives of
probands categorized by conventional diagnoses, compared with HC. All
t maps (A) and regional effect sizes
(B) in probands vs. HC are reported at the primary
hypotheses-testing threshold (p < .01, familywise
error-corrected, k ≥ 20 voxels). All t
maps (D) in relatives vs. HC are reported at the exploratory
threshold (p < .05, false discovery rate-corrected,
k ≥ 20 voxels); the exploratory nature of analyses
in relatives is emphasized by the frame in (D). Images
(A) and (D) are displayed in neurological
convention; color bars indicate the ranges of t values for each
between-group contrast. BD, psychotic bipolar disorder type I probands; SAD,
schizoaffective disorder probands; SAD-Rel, relatives of SAD probands; SZ,
probands with schizophrenia; SZ-Rel, relatives of SZ probands.
