Group differences in surface area between patients with BD and patients with MDD after controlling for age, IQ and the total intracranial volume. Six clusters of larger surface area were observed in patients with BD, when compared to patients with MDD, including the left bankssts, the left precentral gyrus, the left inferioparietal gyrus, the left superiorparietal gyrus, the left precuneus and the right middle temporal gyrus. Larger surface area was colored in red. Clusters were overlaid on the average inflated image. Significance threshold was set to p < 0.01 (uncorrected). Clusters with number of significant vertices greater than 200 were displayed. BD: Bipolar Disorder (n = 16); MDD: Major Depressive Disorder (n = 19)
