Table 2.

Neural correlates of empathic accuracy from emotion labeling task. Smaller volume in bilateral inferior frontal, bilateral caudate, bilateral thalamus and left insula regions was associated with worse empathic accuracy from the emotion labeling task when controlling for diagnosis, age, sex, handedness, disease severity, cognitive functioning, scanner type and total intracranial volume. Results are shown at P < 0.005, uncorrected and cluster size >150mm3
