Reduced cerebellar cortical thickness in World Trade Center responders with cognitive impairment
Prior research has demonstrated high levels of cognitive and physical functional impairments in World Trade Center (WTC) responders. A follow-up neuroimaging study identified changes to white matter connectivity within the cerebellum in responders with ...

Social optimism biases are associated with cortical thickness [PDF]
Optimism biases denote the tendency to see future desirable events as being more likely to happen to oneself than undesirable events. Such biases are important for mental health and may extend to other individuals or social groups (social optimism biases)

Age-Related Differences in Cortical Thickness Vary by Socioeconomic Status. [PDF]
Recent findings indicate robust associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and brain structure in children, raising questions about the ways in which SES may modify structural brain development.

Folding drives cortical thickness variations [PDF]
The cortical thickness is a characteristic biomarker for a wide variety of neurological disorders. While the structural organization of the cerebral cortex is tightly regulated and evolutionarily preserved, its thickness varies widely between 1.5 and 4.5

Overweight is not associated with cortical thickness alterations in children
IntroductionSeveral studies report an association between body mass index (BMI) and cortical thickness in adults. Some studies demonstrate diffuse cortical thinning in obesity, while others report effects in areas that are associated with self-regulation,

Cerebral Cortical Thickness in Chronic Pain Due to Knee Osteoarthritis: The Effect of Pain Duration and Pain Sensitization. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE:This study investigates associations between cortical thickness and pain duration, and central sensitization as markers of pain progression in painful knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:Whole brain cortical thickness and pressure pain thresholds were

Cortical thickness, resting state heart rate, and heart rate variability in female adolescents [PDF]
Resting state heart rate variability (HRV) is a psychophysiological marker that has gained increasing research interest, in particular in developmental neuroscience.

Abnormal cortical development after premature birth shown by altered allometric scaling of brain growth. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: We postulated that during ontogenesis cortical surface area and cerebral volume are related by a scaling law whose exponent gives a quantitative measure of cortical development.

Age differences in prefrontal surface area and thickness in middle aged to older adults
Age is associated with reductions in surface area and cortical thickness, particularly in prefrontal regions. There is also evidence of greater thickness in some regions at older ages.

The cortical control of gait and mobility involves multiple brain regions. Therefore, one could speculate that the association between specific spatial patterns of cortical thickness may be differentially associated with different mobility domains.
