We performed an analysis of the cortex organization of 10 healthy subjects using partial volume information. Tissue concentration were estimated using a novel algorithm applied to 7T MP2RAGE high resolution images (0.75mm), and ultra high resolution (0.35mm). We identified 3 distinct layers characterized by presence of WM-like signal (inner layer), only GM (central layer) and GM/CSF partial volume (outer layer).
