Hi Manuel,
smoothing is usually only necessary for surface data.
You should have crated the subfields on top of the longitudinal directories, so:
recon-all -long <tpid> <baseid> -hippocampal-subfields-T1
Else they will only be available in the cross dirs. The longs will have better reliability.
Best, Martin

Dear all,
I set out to perform a longitudinal analysis of hippocampal subfields. I have already edited the cross and/or the bases when necessary and obtained the longs.
Then I have obtained the hippocampal subfields by the automated pipeline: recon-all -s <subject> -hippocampal-subfields-T1.
Now I am going to create the qdec table to proceed with the analysis, but I don't know whether I have to smooth the data by recon-all -long <tpid> <baseid> -qcahe before the analysis, or given that hippocampal subregions have been extracted by using its own pipeline it is not necessary to do any smoothing.
Thanks
