Hi Don, the average thickness is not weighted by vertex area. The volume computation is relatively simple: the volume of a vertex is computed as the thickness * the average area of the triangles that are adjacent to the vertex.

Is there a detailed description somewhere of how the gray matter volume values are calculated for the aparc stats files?
Also, is the average thickness weighted by area?
