Abstract :
By analyzing interpoint comparisons, we obtain significant results describing the relationship in "hippocampus shape-space" of clinically depressed, high risk, and control populations. In particular, our analysis demonstrates that the high risk population is closer in shape-space to the control population than to the clinically depressed population.
