Recent developments in the use of MRI contrast in images of the brain continue to expand the use of MRI in neuroscience. Higher magnetic field strengths and innovative ways to manipulate contrast have allowed improved visualization of the various properties of brain tissues, facilitating the anatomical definition of functional areas and their white matter fiber connections. This is bringing us closer to understanding the evolutionary blueprint of the brain, improving the detection and characterization of disease, and help guiding treatment. This review highlights some areas of recent progress, including the application of magnetic susceptibility contrast to study white matter fibers and cortical layers and the use of endogenous and exogenous contrast to study cellular events.
