Description
Yifan Yang and colleagues, in 2026, present a brain scan study on how sex and lupus status together shape the cortex. Lupus can affect the brain, and its course differs sharply by sex.
The study scanned 196 people: 30 men and 66 women with lupus, plus 33 male and 67 female healthy controls. Measures covered cortical thickness, folding, and groove depth in set regions. Two spots showed a clear sex-by-disease interplay, one in a left orbital groove and one in a left frontal groove. Thickness ran lower in lupus across much of both hemispheres. No firm link to disease activity scores appeared.
