Aparcstats question
by Nathan Dankner 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

I have a couple of questions regarding the stats files. First, at the beginning of the aparc.stats tables, there is a measure that is labeled ³unknown.² Is this total average thickness throughout the cortex, or just some throw-away measure? Secondly, I have heard that there are command line flags that can be used to find things such as total white matter volume, etc. What are these flags? Thank you in advance, Nathan

A question about symmetry between two hemispheres

Hi Lars, In the interim you might want to take a look at thread below about this issue where I discuss some admittedly imperfect approaches pending doug's tool carl schwartz On 3/11/09 3:32 PM, "Douglas N Greve" <greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> wrote: Not yet.

In the interim, below is one, admittedly imperfect approach. Suppose you have a cluster of thickness difference (or bold signal) in one hemisphere between 2 groups. Create your own average subject (to increase accuracy of visualization (but fs average would work as well). Then hand-draw the analogous cluster in the other hemisphere. To do so, you would need to determine the min and max values that occur in x, y, z in talairach space and additional control points as required for the cluster or region where the primary finding occurs . Then flip the sign on the x coordinates and hand draw the cluster in the opposite hemisphere, guided by the tal coodinates. Determine the variable of interest (mean thickness, mean bold signal, etc) in the "mirror" cluster. Input that variable into a glm/anova (outside of freesurfer) where side, group, variable of interest and test for whether there is a side x variable interaction, suggestive of a truly lateralized finding. Remember that the test statistic/significance level for the PRIMARY hemisphere finding is not appropriate to report as it is inherently biased (it is defined as the region where there is a significant between group difference. It is the "mirror" contra-lateral and the presence or absence of a side x variable interaction that is the focus. You might also be able to simply analyze the mirror cluster alone without putting the other side into the anova since it, unlike the primary finding cluster, is not a biased metric. best, carl schwartz >>>>>>>>>>>> no, the vertex index is essentially arbitrary and you can't use it to compare left and right. Doug had some tools for this, but I'm not sure whether they are ready for primetime yet. cheers, Bruce On Sun, 18 Jan 2009, Zhangyuanchao wrote: > Dear Expert, > > I want to exame the symmetry property of two hemispheres,for example, symmetry of cortical thickness or lgi, I want to know whether the same ID of the two hemispheres after resampling using the average pial surface corespond to the same anatomical region. > > > > For example, > > ID=1000, > For the left hemisphere, the vertex 1000 corespond to 'medial_wall'; what about the vertex 1000 on the right hemisphere?

Are accurate volumes necessary for accurate surfaces?
by Jeff Sadino 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hello Surfers, I want to do a study on the cortical thickness for some new subjects. As I understand the Recon process, the surface files get their information from the volume files. If I want to increase the accuracy of my thickness files, do I first need to manually check the accuracy of the volume segmentations? Thank you, Jeff _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.

Hello All, While running qcache on a subject, I received this error: ERROR: number of vertices in [subj path]/surf/rh.thickness does not match surface (152261,152724)ERROR: reading curvature file This has only happened with this one particular scan. Is this something that can be resolved? Thanks in advance, Nathan

homologous lh and rh labels
by Lars M. Rimol 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi, This is perhaps a tricky problem. I have created a lh STG label using "custom fill" and the "up to functional threshold" option and retrieved the data from those vertices. This label is just a minor portion of the entire STG parcellation. Now I would like to compare to the homologous area in the right hemisphere. Short of using the annotation labels and thereby chosing the entire parcellation, is there any way to get the vertex numbers for "the same" area in the right hemisphere? Thank you! -- yours, LMR
