Figure 2. The Effects of Stable Importance During a 5-Year Period.

Figure 2

A and B, Although the participants with either stable high or unstable importance for religion had thicker cortical mantle in the left posterior parietal and occipital cortex and mesial right hemisphere, the expanse of regions with a thicker cortex was smaller in the participants with unstable than those with stable high importance. C and D, The plots of the mean thickness showed that the cortex was approximately 0.69-mm thicker in the occipital lobe for the stable high participants and in the posterior parietal lobe for the unstable participants compared with participants with stable low importance for religion.
