Caption

These images of the left and right hemispheres of a 55-year-old's brain depict varying thickness in cortical grey matter, where red is the thinnest and yellow is the thickest. University of Texas at Dallas researchers are studying how the socioeconomic status of adults is related to the function and anatomy of the brain, including cortical thickness and brain network organization.
