6Cortical surface areas link to fall-related fracture odds
Larger caudal anterior cingulate area linked to lower simple-fall fracture odds (OR 0.95), while larger insula area linked to higher odds (OR 1.05).Larger caudal anterior cingulate area linked to lower simple-fall fracture odds (OR 0.95), while larger insula area linked to higher odds (OR 1.05).

WTC neurotoxicant exposure links to cortical thinning
In 218 responders and controls aged 44 to 65, cortical thickness was associated with the WTC exposure severity index at R = -0.38.In 218 responders and controls aged 44 to 65, cortical thickness was associated with the WTC exposure severity index at R = -0.38.
