STAA DAO vs. NSAC: Comparing NSAC and STAA DAO, the multivariate test was highly significant (Wilks' λ7,100 = 0.79, p < .001), with smaller volumes in STAA DAO for the accumbens (F1,106 = 8.95, p < .003, es = 7.8), hippocampus (F1,106 = 16.58, p = .001, es = 13.5), and pallidum (F1,106 = 9.10, P = .003, es = 7.0), and slightly larger volumes for the thalamus(F1,106 = 3.94, p = .05, es = 3.6). Including age as a covariate did not change the results.
