  1. Abbreviations: AD, axial diffusivity; bCC, body of corpus callosum; gCC, genu of corpus callosum; MDD, major depressive disorder; RD, radial diffusivity.
  2. Data are represented as mean (s.e.), unless otherwise indicated.
  3. aSignificance level was corrected for multiple comparisons using Bonferroni's correction; P<0.05/2 (BCC, GCC)=0.025.
