Model-estimated anatomical hierarchy in monkey cortex is better captured by the group-averaged T1w/T2w map than by two other candidate proxy measures derived from structural MRI. (a) Correlation between hierarchy and cortical thickness. (b) Correlation between hierarchy and geodesic distance from primary visual cortex (V1), which follows a rostro-caudal gradient. (c) Comparison of hierarchy correlation values for the T1w/T2w map, cortical thickness map, and map of geodesic distance from area V1. The T1w/T2w map is much more strongly correlated with model-estimated anatomical hierarchy than the other two maps (P < 10−5 for both maps). Grey lines mark the jackknife estimate of standard error. Statistical significance is calculated by a two-sided test of the difference between dependent correlations (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 10−2; ***, P < 10−3). Correlations and statistical significance values were computed across N=89 cortical areas.
