Gradual changes in microarchitectural properties of cortex and juxtacortical white matter: Observed by anatomical and diffusion MRI.

We demonstrated gradual changes across the cortical sheath by assessing depth-specific cortical micro-architecture using anatomical and diffusion MRI. Mutually independent but coexisting features of cortical layers and juxtacortical WM provided new insights towards structural organizational units and variabilities across cortical regions and through depth.
