Sagittal (a), axial (b) and coronal (c) views of areas with statistically significant BOLD activation (p = 0.005 uncorrected, cluster threshold 8 voxels) for the comparison of the ‘self – queen’ contrast between the depressed and control groups.

(d) represents the statistical distribution of the BOLD signal change in the highlighted area. The areas in red represent areas where the depressed participants showed significantly greater BOLD signal change for the contrast ‘self – queen’ than the control group.
