Increased CD31-IR vascular density in cortical white matter from depressed suicides relative to controls. (A) Representative micrographs showing that CD31-IR vascular density in the prefrontal cortex white matter (PFC WM). Scale bars = 50 μm. (B–E) Depressed suicides had a significantly higher vascular density than controls in the mediodorsal thalamus. No group differences were observed in the prefrontal cortex gray matter (PFC GM), the caudate nucleus or the mediodorsal thalamus. *p ≤ 0.05; n = 10; unpaired t-tests corrected for age, pH and post-mortem interval.
