Precentral and postcentral cortical thickness. Cross-sectional analyses of cortical thickness of ALS patients (n = 20) and healthy controls (n = 30). (A) Precentral cortical thickness averaged across left (lh) and right (rh) hemisphere was significantly higher than postcentral cortical thickness in both ALS patients and healthy controls. (B) Cortical thickness of ventral segments of both precentral (PreV) and postcentral (PoV) cortex were similarly higher than in dorsal segments (PreD, PoD) in both ALS patients and healthy controls. Hemispheric differences were detected only in the precentral (C) and precentral ventral cortex (D) of healthy controls. Significance level was set to p < 0.05. Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons. Lh, left hemisphere; Rh, right hemisphere; PreV, precentral ventral; PreD, precentral dorsal; PoV, postcentral ventral; PoD, postcentral dorsal. Asterisks refer to the height of p-value: *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
