    Background Hippocampal volume reductions in major depressive disorder (MDD) represent a robust finding in retrospective meta-analyses. Subregional specificity of this finding has been suspected from several smaller previous studies. Given the complex role of the hippocampus both for stress response regulation and its vulnerability to chronic disease, we aim at finer mapping of this result using FreeSurfer based, automated subfield segmentation. Methods Twenty-three centers with MDD/control samples contributed. Results reported here stem from 2522 patients and 4244 controls. After segmentation and standardized QC, local statistical were run for 25 models in total. Key models were: Cases vs. controls (covarying for age, age squared, sex-by-age, sex-by-age-squared, ICV and scanner/site); recurrent vs. controls, first episode vs. controls, early onset (EO, <22 years) vs. controls, late onset (LO) vs. controls. Eventually, inverse variance-weighted random-effect meta-analysis model in R (metafor package) with FDR correction for 14 phenotypes was performed. Results Regional specificity of volume deficits were detected in MDD as a whole (2522 patients, 4244 controls) (CA3>whole>CA1>GC.ML.DG>CA4>molecular layer). No robust effects were found in first episode patients (743 patients, 3812 controls) except for nominal effects. In recurrent MDD, only CA1 effects were robust. EO depression showed unexpectedly strong effects (836 patients, 3472 controls). Similarly, patients with current AD treatment showed strong effects, similarly distributed as in MDD except for CA1. No correlation with depression severity was detected. Conclusions Hippocampal structural changes in MDD show subregion specificity. While first episode status seems less critical and first/recurrent episode patients are similar, early onset appears as key predictor of structural abnormalities.
