The investigation of the human cerebral cortex at the mesoscopic scale remains challenging but promising to better understand brain pathologies associated with cortex damage. In this ex vivo study, samples of occipital cortex from both hemispheres of an unique subject have been delineated using their microstructural and myeloarchitectural information inferred from ultra-high field anatomical, quantitative and diffusion MRI. The high-resolved UHF-MRI dataset enabled to perform an automatic segmentation of the cortical layers within the primary and secondary visual cortices. The segmentations highlighted their commonalities and differences between the two hemispheres.
