Hello Rahul,
Thank you for your reply. I tried to combine the different regions to
create one label for each lobe but could not figure it out. Can you
suggest how I can combine different regions using tksurfer? Is there a
wiki page where the steps are explained?
Thank you

Hi Dhruman,
If you are interested in lobe-wise comparisons, you can indeed add up
the
individual regions of a specific lobe, create one massive label for that
lobe, and get statistics on those. For example, if you were interested
in
the temporal lobe, you could combine:
lateral occipital
cuneus
lingual
pericalcarine
and generate an *h.occiptal.label (you can use tksurfer to combine the
regions). You could do the same for the other labels and thus create a
'lobe based' parcellation. Once you are done, you can use
mris_anatomical_stats to generate stats on the new labels you have
generated.
best,
Rahul
