Pearson correlations (for continuous measures) or t-tests (for categorical measures) were computed across all participants. A higher r value indicates a stronger association between brain (or behavioral) scores and disease severity, while a higher t value indicates higher brain (or behavioral) scores in participants taking the specific medication. Significant correlations or t-tests that survived FDR correction (q > 0.05) are indicated in bold. The same analysis was performed after classifying medication by medication class (see Table S3).
