Increased right: left amygdala ratios in MDD compared to controls. The major depressive disorder (MDD) group (red) exhibited a greater right:left ratio compared to healthy controls (blue) in (A) whole amygdala volumes (p = 0.004); at the level of the (B) right central nucleus (p = 0.003), and the (C) right medial nucleus (p = 0.014); and at the composite level of the (D) laterobasal group (p = 0.009) (log transformed▲delta (%) = difference between right and left volume/left volume *100, *survives FDR significance threshold).
