Cortical Thickness in Dutch Police Officers: An Examination of Factors Associated with Resilience

Abstract Previous neuroimaging studies on resilience have generally compared resilience and psychopathology after stress exposure, which does not allow for conclusions regarding correlates specific to resilience. The aim of the present study was to investigate resilience‐specific correlates in cortical thickness and/or cortical surface area and their correlations with psychometric measurements, using a three‐group design that included a non–trauma‐exposed control group in order to disentangle effects related to resilience from those related to psychopathology.
