Quantitative metrics of thinning by region within sample #1

Region Mean thickness (mm) (SD)
Group mean Percent Effect size
OC Mild AD Difference (mm) Thinning
Medial temporal 2.91 (0.33) 2.51 (0.32) 0.40 13.62 1.22
Inferior temporal 2.67 (0.23) 2.36 (0.23) 0.31 11.46 1.33
Temporal pole 2.63 (0.21) 2.39 (0.20) 0.25 9.31 1.20
Angular 2.32 (0.16) 2.10 (0.24) 0.22 9.60 1.09
Superior frontal 2.55 (0.17) 2.35 (0.22) 0.20 7.83 1.02
Superior parietal 2.02 (0.13) 1.87 (0.14) 0.15 7.51 1.12
Supramarginal 2.38 (0.17) 2.18 (0.20) 0.20 8.43 1.08
Precuneus 2.21 (0.18) 2.03 (0.18) 0.18 8.07 0.99
Inferior frontal 2.16 (0.13) 2.01 (0.15) 0.15 6.96 1.07
Primary visual 1.51 (0.12) 1.48 (0.14) 0.03 2.29 0.27

Note: Effect size = Cohen's d effect size. All regions are significantly thinner in AD than OC (P < 0.01) except for primary visual, which is not statistically different between OC and AD groups.
