Data are given as mean ± SD. Statistical significance levels are based on 1-factor analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The df of ANCOVA varies because there are 2 covariates for intracranial contents (ICC) (age and parental socioeconomic status) and 3 covariates for absolute volumes (ICC, age, and parental socioeconomic status). The text uses relative volumes for statistical significance measures, but absolute volumes are also presented here for comparison purposes.

Post hoc Tukey Honestly Significant Difference tests indicated that patients with schizophrenia were significantly different from patients with mania and comparison subjects.
