Coronal Images

Caption

Coronal images derived from tract-based spatial statistics results and rendered on T1-weighted MR images from the Montreal Neurological Institute atlas show how patients with depression have significantly decreased fractional anisotropy in the region of A, the right nucleus accumbens (arrow) or "reward center," as well as B, the anterior limb of the internal capsule (arrow) and C, the superior longitudinal fasciculus (arrow)--regions that are involved in depressive disorders in nontraumatic and traumatic settings.
