Hi,
my follow up question would be, how much has changed regarding fsaverage between freesurfer version 4.1.0 and 4.3.1? Is the added insula label the only change that has been made? Besides, when I load both annotations, the old and the new one, it seems to me almost every border of the parcellation has been shifted slightly. Is it how it's meant to be? I ask because I forgot to update the fsaverage in my separately stored Subjects_dir since version 4.1.0 and made a lot of analysis in the last months. To my mind it's good enough to rerun mri_surfcluster with the new fsaverage to get the updated annotations into my summary tables. Should that do the trick?
Thanks again, Georg

Iris, the registration targets were derived differently. With version 4, we automatically fill in all the ventricles. In verion 3, they were partially filled in manually. Version 3 creates a surface around the ventrical making it look like a sulcus, and this affects both the target and the registration to the target. So, on most of the surface, the registration will be very close, but it will deviate signifiacntly around the ventricles/medial wall. I think the fsfast in version 4 should work fine with the anatomicals (including fsaverage) of version 3.

Hi,
we have several reconstructed brains, which were processed by freesurfer 3.0.5. We also kept using the fsaverage data from 3.0.5 in order to be consistent. We wish to do fMRI analysis with freesurfer/fs-fast 4.0.5 and found that talairach coordinates differ slightly when using the fsaverage from version 3.0.5 and the current fsaverage from 4.0.5. Yet, the both volumes appear pretty similar, the newer one maybe a little bit smoother. We would like to know what constitutes the exact difference between these two fsaverage datasets and whether it is possible to use the new version for analysis with the "old" fsaverage data without getting inconsistent results.
Thanks a lot, Iris _______________________________________________ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
