Hi Doug,
Thanks for your response. In addition, as it it mentioned in the wiki page the total white matter volume is volume inside the white surface minus anything that is not WM. Would it be correct to say that even though the total white matter volume calculation is based on a surface-based volume calculation, the calculation of the volume of any structure enclosed that is not WM, is computed based on a volume-based volume calculation?
Thanks, Panos

Hi,
I am using FS v5.3 and I had two questions regarding the calculation of cortical thickness in the stats files:
- Is the average cortical thickness of each structure (i.e. precuneus)
calculated by averaging the cortical thickness values of each location in that structure?
Yes
- Is the mean thickness calculated in the *h.aparc.stats (or in the
other aparc stats files) calculated by averaging the cortical thickness values of all the structures in that hemisphere, or by using a weighted average of the cortical thicknesses of the structures included in that hemisphere?
It is the mean over all vertices without regard to structure doug
