| Age (years) | 43.84 (±4.77) | 49.47 (±4.47) | 47.67 (±4.47) | 49.11 (±5.73) |
| Sex | 11 males, 8 females | 11 males, 4 females | 4 males, 8 females | 4 males, 5 females |
| Postmortem interval (hours) | 20.22 (±1.85) | 20.4 (±1.77) | 22.78 (±2.50) | 22.18 (±3.32) |
| RNA integrity number | 5.35 (±0.24) | 5.18 (±0.33) | 5.31 (±0.36) | 5.88 (±0.22) |
Age, post-mortem interval, RNA quality, and sex distribution of the subjects whose brain samples were used to quantify 5-HT1A alternative splicing across the human brain regions from control and depressed subjects. Hippocampus and midbrain were a from subset of the same controls as for PFC. For each region data is presented as mean ± SEM.
