  • ACC = anterior cingulate cortex; ANCOVA = analysis of covariance; FDR = false discovery rate; MCC = midcingulate cortex; NA = not applicable.

  • * Values are mean ± standard deviation.

  • Represent a q value (i.e., a Benjamini–Hochberg FDR-corrected p value). For Benjamini–Hochberg FDR correction, we assumed 2 tests for total rostral cingulate cortex volume and 4 tests for subregion volumes.

  • Adjusted for rank analysis of covariance34 because of violation of an ANCOVA assumption (i.e., residuals were not normally distributed).
