Pearson product-moment correlations. All measures are uncorrected SUVs. Mean mean is the mean of the mean SUVs in the right and left amygdalae. Mean max is the mean of the maximum SUVs in the right and left amygdalae. Max max is the maximum SUV for the right and left amygdalae. 18F-FDG=18F fluorodeoxyglucose. SUV=standardised uptake value.
