the interior voxels are only included in the volume if they are one of the following in the aseg.mgz:
case Left_Cerebral_Cortex: case Right_Cerebral_Cortex: case Left_Cerebral_White_Matter: case Right_Cerebral_White_Matter: case Left_WM_hypointensities: case Right_WM_hypointensities:

OK, so aparc.stats is better for cortical gray matter. I want to look at the parcellated white matter volumes as well - is the only/best option to use the wm volumes from wmparc.stats?
Also, when using mris_wm_volume to calculate total white matter, I saw the result defined as the volume within the white matter surface minus non-WM structures? Can you tell me which regions are and are not included?

It is better to use the aparc as it is derived from surface measurements, which have sub-voxel resolution. The wmparc.stats are generated by counting 1mm^3 voxels.

Hi all,
I noticed that the gray volumes for parcellated cortical regions in wmparc.stats are different from those for the same region in aparc.stats (e.g. ctx-lh-middletemporal = 8419 in wmparc.stats, middletemporal = 9466 in lh.aparc.stats). Why are the values different and which one is a better measure to use?
Thanks, Marin
