Fig. 1: Association between stressful life events (LEQ) and GMV change between MDD patients and HCs during the 2-year interval.

Fig. 1

Figure shows the relationship between stressful life events (LEQ) and change in corrected cluster values during the 2-year interval in (A) the middle frontal gyrus and (B) the precentral/postcentral gyri between MDD patients and HCs. HCs experienced larger GMV reductions in these areas the more stressful life events they experienced during the 2-year interval, whereas MDD patients did not show such significant GMV changes with increasing stressful life events.
