When Thompson's team looked at brain scans of 206 healthy people aged 70 to 80, they found that those with at least one copy of the FTO variant had 8 per cent less volume in their
frontal lobes and 12 per cent less in the occipital
lobes,
compared with their counterparts lacking the variant.
Measurements of the
frontal and parietal
lobes were made and are
compared in Table 15.
Increases in working memory - related activation volume of 82, 73, 83, and 36 % were observed in the left
frontal, right
frontal, left parietal, and right parietal
lobes, respectively, for 3 T
compared with 1.5 T.
Imaging studies using these composite measures of SES have found significant correlations between composite scores and regions in the medial temporal
lobe and
frontal lobe (Raizada et al., 2008; Jednoróg et al., 2012), but without knowing associations to specific SES markers, it is difficult to
compare these studies with other structural imaging studies.
