Quantitative Cerebral Anatomy in Depression: A Controlled Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging was used to examine cerebral anatomy in 48 inpatients with severe depression who were referred for electroconvulsive therapy and in 76 normal control subjects. The magnetic resonance imaging measures included determinations of regional cerebral volumes and ratings of the frequency and severity of cortical atrophy, lateral ventricular enlargement, and subcortical hyperintensity. The mean total frontal lobe volume was found to be 7% smaller in the inpatients with severe depression (235.88 mL) than in the normal control subjects (254.32 mL)--a difference that was statistically significant even after adjusting for the effects of age, sex, education, and intracranial size. No group differences were observed in the volumes of the cerebral hemispheres, the temporal lobes, or the amygdala-hippocampal complex, nor in the frequency of cortical atrophy. Neither did the groups differ with respect to the total volumes of the lateral and third ventricles, nor in the frequency of lateral ventricular enlargement. Patients with depression had a significantly higher frequency of subcortical hyperintensity in the periventricular white matter, with an odds ratio of 5.32.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
