    Background: To date, there is no study has addressed the effect of race on cortical thickness (CT), cortical area pial (CAP), and the surface fraction of cortical area pial (SFCAP). The present study aimed to provide an overview about similarities and differences in CT, CAP, and SFCAP of the hemisphere, frontal lobe, and frontal lobe gyri between males and females of Sudanese tribes. Methodology: The present study included 139 healthy Sudanese subjects (80 males and 59 females); their ages ranged between 20 and 40 years. The subjects were assigned to six tribes: Jaalayin, Juhyna “1”; Nubians, Beja, Juhyna “2”; and Non-Arabian tribes. T1-weighted MR brain images with a thickness of 1mm were obtained. MR images of the subjects were analyzed using the automatic segmentation software (BrainSuite). CT, CAP, and SFCAP of the hemisphere, frontal lobe, and frontal lobe.. Read More»
