The successful candidate will have expertise in MRI data analysis and collection as well as extensive experience working with psychiatric populations in research settings. The VPNRU is a multi-disciplinary group led by Dr. Nathan Kolla, MD, PhD, that uses MRI, positron emission tomography, and genetics to investigate different patient populations at heightened risk for violent behavior. The post-doctoral fellow will lead an innovative project that seeks to understand brain functioning using MRI in young individuals with schizophrenia who have acted aggressively. The ideal candidate for this job will possess: An MD or PhD with an emphasis on psychological theory and/or neuroscience Expertise with MRI (including structural and functional) data collection and analysis Experience in multivariate statistical techniques, programming, and scripting (e.g., R, python, or JAVA) Experience and knowledge of psychological assessments; experience working with clinical populations. Excellent written and verbal skills Publication (or in press) of at least 2 first author papers Interest in working with forensic populations This position is for a duration of up to two years, renewed yearly. Writing manuscripts and applying for independent grants and fellowships will be required. Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience. The candidate will receive longitudinal mentorship in launching a career as an independent investigator subsequent to the fellowship. A complete application will include a statement of interest, CV, two first-authored publications (published or in press), and the names of 3 referees. Please submit applications to Nathan Kolla at nathan.kolla(a)camh.ca with Postdoctoral Fellowship in the subject line.

How would one run N4 bias corrected T1 and T2 images through FreeSurfer v6.0
by Axelson, Eric D 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

We are using N4 to correct some large inhomogeneities in some samples and wanted to insert these images into the v6.0 pipeline and bypass the N3 bias correction done within. What would be the correct sequence of freesurfer commands to achieve this?

List needed: pathway <==> freesurfer ROI
by Krieger, Donald N. 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Dear List, I need a list of Freesurfer ROIs which are typical endpoints for each standard pathway used in tracula. I think this information is likely included in the default tracula atlas which I have been unable to find although I do not need spatial coordinates but rather just the list of ROI names for each pathway. If this information is contained in publications, I would like to cite them. I hope this is clear and thank you for any help you can provide.

aparcstats2table subject space?
by Kasper Jessen 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Dear FreeSurfer, When you extract e.g. thickness from the command aparcstats2table - is the data extracted from subject space? We need to know whether or not, we need to covariate for total brain volume.

V1 functional ROI
by Sarah Cole 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Dear Dr. Douge, I am a little bit confused about creating function ROI in V1. Basically, I have some localizers that for some ROIs I need to find activated neurons in a specific contrast in native space and then create that ROI and map it to my experimental scans and extract their voxel data. I have used this command for right-FFA: funcroi-config -seg aparc+aseg.mgz 2007 -analysis eba-fba.native.rh -c faces-vs-objects -thresh 3 -sign pos -roi rh.surface.pSTS.faces-vs-objects.thr3.pos.roicfg -force But now, for V1 I am not sure what should I use. Is this correct? funcroi-config -seg aparc+aseg.mgz 400 -analysis eba-fba.native.rh -c faces-vs-objects -thresh 3 -sign pos -roi rh.surface.V1.faces-vs-objects.thr3.pos.roicfg -force I don't see a number in the lookup table for left and right V1. On the other hand, there are V1 labels in the label folder. I appreciate your help. Thanks

Volume to Surface mapping looks great for Vols created in FSL but not SPM
by Rita Elena Loiotile 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hi, I'm trying to compare analyses that I've done entirely on the surface to analyses I've done in the volume. I'm comparing the analyses by projecting the volume analyses to the surface (HCP's 32k_fs_LR). The commands I'm using are: mri_vol2surf --mov $niftiFile --mni152reg --hemi ${hemi} --projfrac-max 0 1 0.2 --o ${giftiFile}.$hemi.gii; mri_surf2surf --srcsubject fsaverage --srcsurfval ${giftiFile}.$hemi.gii --trgsubject 32k_fs_LR --trgsurfval ${giftiFile}.$hemi.gii --hemi ${hemi}; It seems that the FSL volumes look identical to the surface analysis, when mapped. (Our surface analysis is mainly FSL-based, so this makes sense.) The SPM mapping, however, looks very odd. It isn't just that the intensity differs, but the localization of high intensity areas also varies. It seems that everything is shifted a bit superior and, possibly, posterior to the true location (as seen on the surface analysis). I'm wondering if I'm doing anything obviously wrong in my command usage. The brains were normalized to the MNI ICBM 152 template in SPM. I *think* it's suitable to use the -mni152reg flag in the command. I can attach pictures of the comparison if you'd like. Thanks in advance, Rita

Removing labels after extending parcellation into white matter
by Michiko H. 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hi Freesurfer experts, I am wondering if it is possible to remove the original labels after extending the parcellation by 2mm into the WM for tractography? I don't wish to have tractography run on both sets of labels considering the algorithm would take into account the streamlines terminating at nodes defined by the labels so it doesn't quite make sense to count streamlines terminating at both the original label separately from the new label extending into the WM. I used the following command for growing the parcellation into WM: mri_aparc2aseg --s subj --annot aparc --wmparc-dmax 2 --labelwm --hypo-as-wm --o $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subj/mri/aparc+aseg+2mm.nii.gz Would appreciate help and suggestions! Thanks, Michiko.

QDEC Set Up
by Martin Juneja 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hi FS experts, I have two population groups X1 (controls) and X2 (patients). I am interested in calculating impact of sex (F or M) on causing difference between both groups e.g. I am interested in following 4 contrasts: X1 (F) > X1 (M) X2 (F) > X2 (M) X1 (F) > X2 (F) X1 (M) > X2 (M) X1 (M+F) > X2 (M+F) Could you please provide any directions on how can I set this up in QDEC (if possible) and/or by command line? Thanks.
