Characteristics of the participants.
Figure 1.
The anatomical locations of the ROIs derived by the TBSS method.
They are separately located at the left central portion of the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) (A) and the left inferior portion of the frontal lobe (IFL) (B).
Table 2.
Comparisons of the average FA values in the two ROIs between the healthy and depressed subjects.
Figure 2.
For the ROI in the left central portion of the superior longitudinal fasciculus (See Fig. 1A) in the depressive group, the average FA values are correlated with the rumination measurement and its sub-dimensions.
(A) rumination (total) vs. average FA; (B) depressive symptoms vs. average FA; (C) reflection vs. average FA; (D) brooding vs. average FA. Avg: Average.
Table 3.
Correlations between the average FA value in the ROI located in the center of the SLF and the associated rumination scales.
