External Email - Use Caution        

Hi Maedeh,

The human cerebral cortex is a highly folded sheet of neurons the thickness
of which varies between 1 and 4.5 mm, with an overall average of
approximately 2.5 mm (1–3). Regional variations in the cortical thickness
can be quite large. For example, Brodmann’s area 3 on the posterior bank of
the central sulcus is among the thinnest of cortical regions, with an
average thickness of less than 2 mm, whereas Brodmann’s area 4 on the
anterior bank is one of the thickest regions, frequently exceeding 4 mm.
Interestingly, the distribution of the thickness is not uniform by layer,
nor is the variation in the thickness of the cortical layers proportional
to the variation in the total thickness.

Regards,
Bellamy
