Given the strong overlap between the patterns expressed by the morphological age effects of the surface and the microstructural age effects of white matter, as shown in Figure 4 A, and the highly significant relationship between the two results, as shown in Table 2 and Figure 4 B, it is reasonable to suppose that the cortical surface increase is sensitive to the myelination of cortico-cortical fibers projecting to or from the very cortical regions.
