T1 maps were acquired under normal, hypercapnic
(increased CO2) and hyperoxic (increased O2) breathing
conditions to investigate the confounding effects of
dissolved oxygen, blood flow and blood volume on
computational anatomy studies. We show a decrease in T1
during hypercapnia and hyperoxia, as well as an increase
in cortical thickness during hypercapnia. These biases
should be taken into account when interpreting MR-based
structural plasticity studies of ageing and learning,
for instance.
