Dear Meena,

Running the dev version of recon-all is a really bad idea, as your results will not be reliable or reproducible.

I would use dev for the hippo/amygdala substructures and then switch back to 6.0.

Cheers,

Subject: [Freesurfer] BrainStem & HippoAmyg segmentation

        External Email - Use Caution        

Hi,

I am using Freesurfer stable6_0_0 (/autofs/cluster/freesurfer/centos6_x86_64/stable6_0_0/bin) and I used it for all my subjects, so far. Now I would like to do BrainStem and HippocampalSubfieldsAndNucleiOfAmygdala segmentation which needs me to switch to dev versions. Should I switch to the dev version for getting this segmentations only and switch back Version 6 for future reconall or is it okay to switch to the dev version for good? In other words is there any differences in the reconall between the two versions?

Thank you!

Meena
