External Email - Use Caution        

Hello,

I am a graduate student at the University of Arizona and we have been using the FreeSurfer Program to reconstruct MRI data from healthy patients and patients with a mild cognitive impairment. We are comparing the statistics for different brain regions, however, we would like to take age and gender into consideration. Does the main atlas used to map/segment regions in the brain have a default (male) brain or certain age? If so, is there a way to specify the data is from a female during the recon all code? Such as a tag at the end? Is it possible to include something like this for age as well? Thank you for your time.

Best,

Carissa Grijalva
