The human cerebral cortex has a laminar structure presenting distinct cell organization and myelination. In this work, we compare the lamination observed from multicompartmental quantitative relaxometry- or diffusometry-based microstructural ultra-high field MRI on a post-mortem human brain visual cortex sample. This study reveals that the quantitative intra-neuritic volume fraction map provides a better delineation of the line of Gennari in the primary visual cortex whereas multicompartment T1 relaxometry provides a better segmentation of the superfical layers. Thus, this study strongly plays in favour of a combination of relaxometry and diffusometry methods to robustly map the cortex lamination in humans.
