In summary, when considering associations between experience and brain morphometry, cortical thickness and surface area should be assessed separately, rather than reporting on the composite metric
of cortical volume (Winkler et al., 2010; Raznahan et al., 2011).
Much of these studies have relied on voxel - based morphometry, providing estimates
of the cortical volume of the brain.
Surface area abnormalities and cortical thickness were assessed in individuals with migraine, 2 components
of cortical volume providing complementary and different bits of information.

Because
of the effective use
of the ketogenic diet in reducing seizures (see above), it has been suggested that it may also improve the clinical status in brain injury, especially by reducing the incidence
of long - term consequences, such as epilepsy.79 Positive effects
of a ketogenic diet have also been reported in reducing the
cortical contusion
volume in an age - dependent manner in an animal model
of cortical injury, which is related to the maturation - dependent variability in brain ketone metabolism.92 These findings were also supported by the demonstration that a ketogenic diet reduced post-traumatic cognitive and motor function impairment, at least in a rat model.93
