The areas near subcortical structures are not included in thickness
estimates. If you load your subject in tksurfer and load the aparc.annot
you will see a section on the medial side called "unknown". If the regions
you are concerned about fall within here, then you do not have to worry
about it as it will not be included in your thickness stats.
