Hi Mike, Yes, take the results from the longitudinal stream, they are less noisy.

Hi Freesurfers,
Just wanted to verify:
I have ran my subjects through the longitudinal processing stream (two time points a couple weeks apart).
I want to predict cognitive performance (from the first time point) with Freesurfer stats. As I have the longitudinal data available, would it be better to use longitudinally processed stats (as opposed to the cross sectional stats)?
I ask because I'm not aware of any publications that do this...
Thanks much, Mike Kranz
