Cortical thickness maps. (a) An in vivo average cortical-thickness map created from 45 normally developing children at their first scan [12]. The brain surface is color coded according to the bar on the right, where thickness is shown in millimeters. The average thickness map can be compared to an adapted version of the 1929 cortical thickness map of von Economo [15] (b). Color coding has been applied over his original stippling pattern, respecting the boundaries of his original work, to highlight the similarities between the two maps.
