Partial correlation results revealed that cingulum connectivity was not significantly associated with childhood maltreatment (CTQ total and subscale scores; p>.05) or adult trauma (TEI adult; p>.05) after controlling for age and current depressive symptoms. After accounting for age and depressive symptoms, ANCOVA results (F1,50=6.77, p=.012) revealed that the PTSD group (Mean FA=.28, SE = .01) demonstrated poorer cingulum connectivity compared to controls (Mean FA=.31, SE = .01). The relationship between PTSD and cingulum connectivity remained significant after also covarying total trauma exposure (F1,49=5.2, p=.027).
