Correlation between cortical thickness and neuropsychological function. The cortical thickness of clusters with statistically significant correlations between cortical thickness and AFE to tackle football was associated with the factor scores of neuropsychological testing. A statistically significant correlation was revealed between “verbal memory” and cortical thickness of the right superior frontal cortex (R = 0.333, P = 0.019; A), and between “visual memory” and cortical thickness of the right occipital cortex (R = 0.360, P = 0.012; B). The line of best fit is shown together with 95% confidence intervals.
