Postmortem MRI and histology of section from striate cortex. (i) T2-weighted MRI (slice thickness, 0.60 mm; in-plane resolution, 59 × 68 μm²). (ii) Low-magnification image of myelin-stained section corresponding to the MRI in i. (iii) High-magnification inset of myeloarchitecture from white box in ii. (iv) High-magnification cell density stain of adjacent section to iii. (v) Intensity line profiles through equivalent regions of each image measured through the annotated line segments in i–iv. The intensity line profile for the cell density stain (iv) has been inverted for ease of comparison with the other profiles. The horizontal scale on these profiles is expressed as a percentage of the cortical thickness measured from the cortical surface (refer to Table 1 for more detail).
