Areas were identified via either a condition × time interaction (with a minimum of six contiguous voxels each significant at P < 1 × 10−21; Forman et al., 1995) or a group × condition × time (six contiguous voxels, P < 0.001) in an initial whole-brain ANOVA. For identified areas, planned contrasts were performed on percent signal change from Time 1 at Times 4, 5, 6 and 7 (see ‘Methods’ section). Headings refer to patterns for controls. Major anatomical regions and BA numbers are listed in descending order of approximate size, with areas of approximately equal size indicated by a slash (parentheses indicate a small extent relative to other areas listed). Different patterns for MDE group: aDiscussed in text;bA > E = D; cD > E = A; dD = E > A; eD = E = A. H, hemisphere; L, left; M, medial; R, right.
