ReHo in left ITG positively correlated with HAMD scores (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.4347,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.0023), while right MFG (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      = -0.5262,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.0001), left insula, and left hippocampus (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      = -0.4049,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.0048) showed negative correlations.
