Multicontrast quantitative
MRI is used to characterize left-right and sulcal-gyral asymmetries of the
brain in healthy volunteers between 27 and 80 years of age. Good correlation between sulcal-gyral H2O-defined
asymmetry and local gyrification index is found.

index 2(G-S)/(G+S).
Fig. 4 Cortical distribution of the left-right asymmetry index 2(L-R)/(L+R).
