  1. rsFC in patients compared to healthy control is shown as positive when significantly greater than in healthy controls, negative when significantly less than in healthy controls. Differences that are bold are highly significant. Other observations are not significantly different (--). Significantly associated traits in each group are TCI character traits of low self-directedness (s) and cooperativeness (c), high/low Self-Transcendence (T/t), and TCI temperament traits of low persistence (p) and reward dependence (r), and high Harm Avoidance (H) and Novelty Seeking (N). Positive/negative symptoms are significant SAPS/SANS ratings.
