Statistical Analysis of Twin Populations using Dissimilarity Measurements in Hippocampus Shape Space

Figure 6

Artist's rendition of what hippocampus shape space might look like were it one-dimensional–-if the population shapes could be accurately represented in ℝ¹. Our results suggest that the joint relationship of the three populations, in terms of shape, puts the CTRL population between the HR and MDD populations. The relationship depicted here holds for both LM-Left and LM-Right, although our results suggest that for the left hippocampus CTRL is shifted closer to HR while for the right hippocampus the CTRL is shifted closer to MDD.
