  • BLA–vmPFC rs-fc = basolateral amygdala–ventromedial prefrontal cortex resting-state functional connectivity; CBT = cognitive behavioural therapy; CI = confidence interval; HAMD = Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression; OCD = obsessive–compulsive disorder; OR = odds ratio; YBOCS = Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale.

  • * OR and multiple regression coefficients are reported for one standard deviation increase in the predictor.
