The associations between carotid stenosis and cortical thickness. (A) The association between mean carotid stenosis (average of the left and right internal carotid artery [ICA] stenosis) and cortical thickness, controlling for age (in days) and gender. (B) The association between maximum carotid stenosis (observed on the left or right ICA) and cortical thickness, controlling for age (in days) and gender. The associations in A and B remained significant after controlling for vascular risk factors, intelligence quotient at age 11 years, Mini‐Mental State Examination score, and other carotid measures, affecting both carotid territory and regions supplied by the posterior circulation that are anatomically unrelated to the carotid arteries. Areas in orange–yellow shades represent statistically significant negative associations at false discovery rate (FDR) = 0.05. The color bar represents FDR q values.
