Neurobiology of the Cerebral Cortex and its Thickness
Cortical thickness represents the sum of the thickness of the 6 laminae.
the neocortex is organized into vertical units, known as cortical columns or modules, traversing the 6 laminae;
the neocortex contains a large number of functional parts or cortical fields;
both laminar variability and the number of cortical columns per region are directly related to functional organization;
