What is the impact of child abuse on gray matter abnormalities in individuals with major depressive disorder: a case control study.

In addition, increased GMD in postcentral gyrus and a possible reduction of GMD in the orbitofrontal cortex of MDD patients with abuse subgroup may be associated with abnormalities of body perception and emotional dysregulation.
