          We present a novel intra-cortical boundary estimated 
						from high-resolution T1 images where cortical layer 
						structure is visible. The boundary between deeper 
						myelinated cortical layers and more superficial ones can 
						be used to derive two morphometric measures of local 
						myeloarchitecture: myelinated cortical thickness and 
						myelinated thickness ratio. We compare group averages of 
						these two contrasts to T1 and total cortical thickness, 
						and discuss their relevance to brain mapping and 
						plasticity studies.
