In this study we characterised the spatiotemporal features of age-related iron accumulation marked by R2* maps in 97 participants distributed over the whole range of ages between 20 and 75 years old. The analyses showed a broad spectrum of linear and non-linear patterns of age-related differences in R2*. These were predominantly confined to striatum, motor, pre-motor and parietal regions of grey matter as well as subgyral pre- and postcentral regions of white matter. The spatial distribution of R2* changes seems to be related to a higher prevalence of long-distance white matter connections originating from a region.
