Figure 2

Reconstructed cortical surface maps representing the average mean difference in thickness (mm, p < .002) for the three groups with learning and/or retention impairment relative to memory intact group (top three rows), and the LL-LR group relative to the HL-LR group (bottom row), after controlling for the effects of age and gender. Blue and cyan indicate thinning whereas red and yellow indicate thickening. Relative to the HL-HR group, the two groups with impaired learning ability showed a more widespread pattern of cortical thinning, involving temporal, frontal regions, and PCC. In contrast, the low retention group (the HL-LR group) demonstrated significantly thinner gray matter in medial temporal areas and PCC relative to the HL-HR group.
