External Email - Use Caution Thank you! I found some significant results/regions in the negative direction. Does this mean that time impacts cortical thickness? So, there is a time x thickness effect, and with longer time/treatment, the cortical thickness decreases in those regions?
Additionally, I wanted to visualize the thickness changes over time. In other words, I was hoping to extract and visualize cortical thickness values at these time points. What would be the best way to do this?
