Ah, yes. So, you could say, sensitivity is a measure of whether a true positive case is likely to be correctly identified by the test. If the...
They were just looking at the volume of bits of brain, which is a reasonable thing to do. I wouldn't expect the bits of brain to change in size...
Wow. Perceived. Suggests a high level of confidence in their model. And yet, they couldn't even get patients to report an improvement in...

I think that's called 'grasping at straws'. Or 'grasping at bits of anatomy'. So, no difference in hypothalamus volumes, but they found one...
