Arrows indicate gray matter density reductions across study groups; the number of arrows corresponds to the following mean effect sizes, based on the range of effect sizes observed in our analyses: ↓, ≤ 0.55; ↓↓, 0.56–0.74; and ↓↓↓, ≥ 0.75. Asterisks indicate mean effect size derived from the exploratory analyses in relatives (p < .05, voxelwise false discovery rate, k ≥ 20 voxels) where no effects survived the stringent primary statistical threshold; the rest of the mean effect sizes were computed based on the primary threshold (p < .01, voxelwise familywise error, k ≥ 20 voxels).
