NHP surface reconstruction in FS5.3
by S.V.Shepherd [work] 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Greetings, I've been reconstructing a surface in an NHP using a Kolster T1 scan and FS5.3. It went very well, at first, but I've hit a wall. I have trouble in occipital (due to poor signal strength/constrast) and some typical-with-NHP problems in ACC and OFC. I think there are three related questions. 1) I lose parts of the ACC near the genu of the corpus callosum. I have attached a screen shot -- the white matter and gray matter both look decent. I wondered if the corpus callosum might be handled specially, and if differences between human and nhp callosi might prevent the ACC from growing normally? 2) In trying to deal with this, I greyed out the ACA, which was bright and potentially confounding. I wasn't sure how to do this in brain.finalsurfs.manedit, since my understanding is that only 1s (nonbrain) and 255s (wm) were preserved. I tried brain, which got overwritten, but ultimately succeeded by editing brainmask and rerunning -autorecon2-wm. Is there a way to repain gray matter in brain.finalsurfs.manedit? Alternately, if I continue editing brainmask (or equivalent) directly, should I be darkening or lightening the gray matter in the excluded section of the ACC? I would assume lighten -- but in the OFC, some gray matter (not shown) appears to be excluded for being too bright. 3) In some places I've specified wm (e.g. in the ACC, here) but it hasn't stuck. I assume this is because autorecon isn't convinced by the wm specification after looking at brain.finalsurfs -- how might I (gently!) override this? Thanks very much for your time and patience. stephen [image: Inline image 2][image: Inline image 1] *stephen v. shepherd phd* The Rockefeller University / 1230 York Avenue / New York NY 10065-6307 USA // 212.327.7620

ROI analyses
by Emily Boeke 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi Freesurfers, I have some questions about ROI analyses. 1. I use the mni305 and fsaverage flags during preprocessing. Does this mean that when I run funcroi-config, funcroi-sess, etc, the analysis is being done for each subject in mni305 space, as opposed to native space? Meaning, If I specify -seg aseg.mgz 18 in funcroi-config, the analysis will not be done using the left amygdala from that individual's aseg, but instead will be done in mni305 space with the fsaverage left amygdala ROI? 2. I sometimes want to use labels I've created on fsaverage from averaged group activation to do ROI analyses. If the ROI is in the volume, I convert the label to a mask and run: mri_segstats --i cespct.nii.gz --seg mymask.mgz --id 1 --avgwf ces.mymask.dat In the appropriate contrast folder. What should I do if I want to do the same thing, but with a surface label (in a lh or rh surface analysis, not an mni305 analysis)? Thanks! Emily

reading colorized labels in tcl file to tksurfer...
by Rudolph Pienaar 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi all -- I have a process that generates a list of ROIs (from aparc.annot) based on some cost condition. I wanted to view these labeled ROIs in 'tksurfer'. I created the following rough tcl script: 'label_load.tcl' set label lh.bankssts.label ; read_and_color_labeled_vertices 255 255 0 set label lh.caudalanteriorcingulate.label ; read_and_color_labeled_vertices 255 255 10 set label lh.caudalmiddlefrontal.label ; read_and_color_labeled_vertices 255 255 20 set label lh.cuneus.label ; read_and_color_labeled_vertices 255 255 30 set label lh.inferiorparietal.label ; read_and_color_labeled_vertices 255 255 40 set label lh.lateraloccipital.label ; read_and_color_labeled_vertices 255 255 50 and then ran with tksurfer <subj> <hemi> <surface> -tcl label_load.tcl The labels all load, but they are all the same teal-like color. I'm guessing that I am using the wrong tksurfer internal command... I have looked through the wiki, but didn't immediately see a solution. Help?

wm and pial edits - what to correct and what not?
by Markus Gschwind 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Dear all, I would like to show some very frequent and typical cases of segmentation problems in my bunch of data of normal subjects (after recon-all), of which I couldn't find a description in the wiki ( http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FreeviewGuide/FreeviewWorkingWithD… ). I am therefore not sure if these types of error are serious and will affect later results like thickness, curvature, GWR, etc. Here are the examples (c.f. attached screenshots from Freeview) 1) In the primary sensory-motor cortex it frequently happens that the "?h.white" line lies several mm within the wm border (c.f. yellow arrow), I did not observe this behavior in other places. >>Would I need to edit that? 2) Sometimes the "?h.pial" line includes also dura or parts of the skull (green arrow). >>Is it necessary to edit that as well? 3) Another question concerns the yellow parts of the wm which sometimes are much larger than the ventricles and also include both caudate nuclei (not shown). >>Is this a problem? Thanks in advance!! Markus

Cognition is construed broadly to embrace empirical findings in a range of species including humans, and there is a strong focus on integration of findings and principles across species and levels of analysis. In the opening Keynote Session, two leading neuroscientists with provide an experimental and computational perspective on the recent initiative, termed Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN). This initiative, spearheaded by the President and NIH, is aimed at developing innovative methodologies to study how complex systems of neurons interact in time and in space during complex behaviors. Along with recent findings in a few traditional "core" areas, formal sessions will then explore several new themes, including: 1) the neuroanatomy and 2) coordination of cognitive circuits in the brain, 3) motor cognition and brain-computer interfaces, 4) music and language, and 5) learning and plasticity. The program juxtaposes human psychophysical, neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies with parallel investigations in rodents and non-human primates, and with computational approaches that explicate empirical findings and construct robust, detailed models to represent the developing picture and guide future experimentation. The program also underscores novel experimental and theoretical approaches that promise to define fundamental principles that guide and integrate the understanding of cognition at a fundamental level, and to extend these to improved treatment of brain dysfunction. The format of the meeting promotes intensive interactions among investigators and trainees from different perspectives and analytic levels, and in particular, between experimentalists and theorists. There is a linked Gordon Research Seminar for trainees, most of whom also attend the GRC. All that is missing now is your *application* to attend.
