Our objective was to determine the effects of fixation on T1 relaxation of gray matter and white matter over time in ex vivo brain MRI. We found that T1 relaxation times of gray matter and white matter of fixed brain tissue attenuate over time, with rapid attenuation within the first 6 weeks of fixation and stabilization by 6 months.
