Comparison of cortical thickness in patients to controls. Results of vertex-wise analysis comparing cortical thickness in participants in Group setting to age- and gender-matched controls. In this analysis, we co-varied for scanner type because of imbalance between all controls and Group setting participants. Before exercise areas of thinner cortex were observed in participants (FDR 15%) in the occipital and parietal lobes in right (a) and left (b) hemispheres. These differences were no longer significant after completion of exercise program.
