The subcortical segmentation identifies subcortical structures such as
thalamus, basal ganglia structures, hippocampus, amygdala, and
cerebellum. The cortical parcellation delineates different areas of the
cortex, such as the superior temporal sulcus, the central sulcus, the
pars triangularis, opercularis, and orbitalis of the inferior frontal
gyrus. A recommendation is to get a copy of the Duvernoy atlas, which
covers definitions of different parts of the cortex. The Mai atlas is
good for learning subcortical structures.

Hello All,

I have a question about "segmentation" and "parcellation".

What is the difference between the subcortical segmentation and the

cortical parcellation?

Especially I do not understand the difference between subcortical and

cortical and between segmentation and parcellation.

I tried to read FreeSurfer Wiki, but I did not understand it well.

Could you tell me it?

Thanks.

Kenichiro Tanaka.
