Funding This project was funded by the EU-project H2020-860563 euSNN and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation under the Specific Grant Agreement No. 945539 (Human Brain Project SGA3). Laurentius Huber was funded from the NWO VENI project 016.Veni.198.032. The sequence used here is based on code kindly written and provided by Benedikt A. Poser. Data were acquired at Scannexus (Maastricht, the Netherlands). We thank Chris Wiggins for providing the 3rd order shimming tools. We thank David Feinburg for valuable discussions on the columnar results. We would also like to thank Maastricht Layer-Seminar members Sebastian Dresbach, Lonike Faes, Miriam Heynckes, Kenshu Koiso, and Yawen Wang for discussions throughout the project."
