Hi Bruce:

As you know  - along with Volume, Thickness and SA, FS also gives curvature
numbers for the 5 subregions of the CC. In my dataset, which is comparing
High risk offsping of SZ subjects and healthy controls, the curvature
numbers show a siginficant difference (p < 0.03) between the groups. In
addition these curvature numbers are negatively correlated with aspects of
cognition such as working memory and attention (p < 0.002).

I am finding difficulty interpreting the results since I am unsure how
curvature is measured.

thanks,

Alan
