Erratum: No association between serotonin 5-HT_1A receptors and spirituality among patients with major depressive disorders or healthy volunteers

Correction to: Molecular Psychiatry (2011) 16, 282–285; doi:10.1038/mp.2009.126; published online 24 November 2009 After the above article appeared online, a mistake was noticed in Table 1 and Figure 1. Due to a systematic error in the coding of TCI items in the healthy control group, the correlations between BP_P and TCI are erroneous in our article. Self-transcendence scores ranged from 1 to 15 (median 8) in the healthy subjects. The correct correlations are displayed in the following table and figure. These new results do not change the main findings or the conclusions of the article in any way.

Scatterplots showing the association between self-transcendence scores and 5-HT_1A receptor BP_P in the raphe, hippocampus, and neocortex in patients with major depressive disorder (closed circles) and healthy subjects (open circles). Lines show linear regression: solid for depressed patients, dashed for healthy subjects.
