  1. aOne sample was removed from the hippocampus (HPC)-MDD (GSE53987) as it did not pass the quality control (see Fig. S1A). Of 17 samples, we continued to investigate the remaining 16.
  2. bOne sample was removed from the striatum (STR)-MDD (GSE53987) as it did not pass the quality control (see Fig. S1B). Of 16 samples, we continued to investigate the remaining 15.
