Differential developmental trajectories of magnetic susceptibility in human brain gray and white matter over the lifespan
13 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
As indicated by several recent studies, magnetic susceptibility of the brain is influenced mainly by myelin in the white matter and by iron deposits in the deep nuclei. Myelination and iron deposition in the brain evolve both spatially and temporally. This evolution reflects an important characteristic of normal brain development and ageing. In this study, we assessed the changes of regional susceptibility in the...
