Dear FreeSurfer experts,

I want to get with mris_anatomical_stats the stats from the four lobes, Frontal, Parietal, Temporal and Occipital as suggest here (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CorticalParcellation), but without the cingulate. 

I am trying to use the mri_mergelabels to merge that labels:

Rostral Anterior (Frontal)

Caudal Anterior (Frontal)

Posterior (Parietal)

Isthmus (Parietal)

in their lobes, but I am facing some difficulties. I am sorry if this is a basic question, but I couldn't find an example that worked for me in the mail archive.

I am following these steps:

mri_annotation2label --subject PRI002 --hemi lh --lobesStrict lh.lobesStrict.annot 

mri_mergelabels -i lh.frontal -i lh.rostralanteriorcingulate -i lh.caudalanteriorcingulate -o lh.frontal 

Is there an easier way to do it?

Thank you very much in advance,

Fernanda Hansen P. de Moraes
