PEDT, premature ejaculation diagnostic tool; EPQ-N, the subscale of Eysenck Personality Inventory about neuroticism; PE, premature ejaculation; NPE, PE with abnormal emotion; SPE, PE with stable emotion; HC, healthy controls; Amygdala_L, left amygdala; Amygdala_R, right amygdala; Frontal_Sup_Medial_L, left medial superior frontal gyrus; Postcentral_R, right postcentral gyrus; Rolandic_Oper_L, left rolandic operculum; Temporal_Sup_L, left superior temporal gyrus. Bold values indicated that P < 0.05.
P < 0.05 suggested statistically significant differences. **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05.
