Note: Regression models showing the relationship between WTC exposures (i.e., PTSD symptom severity and total month working on the WTC sites) and [18F]-FEPPA VT in the frontal cortex, temporal cortex, parietal cortex, occipital prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and whole brain (not PVC) in WTC responders. GLM resulted beta coefficients (B), standard error for the beta coefficients (SE), Cohen's d (d) and nominal p-values (P) are reported. #0.1 > P > 0.5, ∗P < 0.05 and ∗∗P < 0.01.
Abbreviations: VT = total distribution volume.
