This study explores the relationships that cortical myelination and cortical thickness have with age, and expands on existing literature by investigating whether the previously reported trends are still present when only looking at individual lobes of the brain. We find that quadratic variations occur in all four lobes of the brain in regards to myelination, and that cortical thickness declines linearly with age in all lobes except the temporal. We also find that myelination levels and cortical thickness appear to change independently of each other.
