  • ANCOVA = analysis of covariance; BD = bipolar disorder; dl = dorsolateral; dm = dorsomedial; FL = frontal lobe; HPC = hippocampus; l = left; MNI = Montreal Neurological Institute; OC = occipital cortex; p = posterior; PL = parietal lobe; PUT = putamen; r = right; SS = somatosensory; SZ = schizophrenia.

  • * An ANCOVA F-test was run for effect of diagnosis in each cluster, with 2 degrees of freedom, with pairwise comparisons distinguishing among the 3 groups.

  • Positive t values show an increase in patients with schizophrenia and BD compared with healthy controls, and in patients with schizophrenia compared with patients with BD.
