Regions marked with “*” were predictor variables chosen by LMT. L: left hemisphere; R: right hemisphere.

2

Two-sample t-test. P-values marked with “**” were significant at false discovery rate (FDR) q < 0.05 (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995).

All regions that were found to be significantly different with respect to volume were also found to be significantly different with respect to thickness. L: left hemisphere; R: right hemisphere.

2

Two-sample t-test. None was chosen using false discovery rate (FDR) q < 0.05 (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995).
