We investigated the spatial distribution of both
magnetic susceptibility and R2* across the cerebral
cortex in vivo. We observed substantial variations of
magnetic susceptibility and R2* across the cortical
surface. Certain regions of magnetic susceptibility and
R2* coincided with the boundaries of the probabilistic
Brodmann atlas and other regions exhibited a
heterogeneous distribution within the specific Brodmann
area. In conclusion, cortical mapping of R2* and
magnetic susceptibility reveals insights into tissue
composition across the cerebral cortex and may be
instrumental for understanding the relationship between
tissue composition and functional roles of cortical gray
matter.
