Subcortical volume and white matter integrity abnormalities in major depressive disorder: findings from UK Biobank imaging data

Abstract Previous reports of altered grey and white matter structure in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) have been inconsistent. Recent meta-analyses have, however, reported reduced hippocampal grey matter volume in MDD and reduced white matter integrity in several brain regions. The use of different...
