All scans were performed on a 9.4 T vertical bore magnet interfaced to a GE console running Epic 12.4X (GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI).
The T1 ('spin lattice relaxation') data was acquired with an RF refocused spin echo sequence, using TR=50 ms and a TE=5.1 ms.
The T2 ('spin spin relaxation') data was acquired with a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) multi-echo sequence, with TR=300 ms and TE ranging from 7.5 to 60 ms.
The T2* ('magnetic susceptibility') data was acquired with a 45° gradient rcho sequence, using TR=50 ms and TE=4.3 ms.
The NISSL data is the result of conventional histology: frozen brains were cut into 21 Μm horizontal slices, stained for Nissl substance, and photographed at 9.9 Μm resolution.
