Abstract
We investigated whether thickness of the cortical mantle varied as a function of impulsive traits and whether such variation also explained recent risky behavior. Findings suggest reduced thickness in the pericalcarine region partially explains the link between sensation seeking and the tendency to engage in risky behavior.
