Hi Christophe, That was very clear. Thank you very much!
yours, LMR
(PS! I have attached two images with curvature as Bruce suggested, in case anyone wants to check, but I think your e-mail has explained the discrepancy.)

Hi Lars
There is no atlas more accurate than the other one ; they just differ in anatomical convention.
In fact the difference between the 2 nomenclatures comes from the definition of the parcellation:
- Rahul used a gyral based atlas : ie a gyrus was defined as running
between the bottoms of 2 adjacent sulci.
- I used a different parcellation that first divided the cortex in gyral
and sulcal, the limit between both being given by the curvature value of the surface. This technique provides a more complex parcellation, since sulcal labels were added to gyral ones
In other words:
- In my atlas, a gyrus only includes the cortex visible on the pial view, the hidden cortex (banks of sulci) are marked sulcus
- in Rahul's: a gyrus includes the part visible on the pial view + adjacent banks of the sulci limiting this gyrus
Your ROI mainly belongs to the cingulate sulcus, cingulate gyrus and pericallosal sulcus in my atlas. In Rahul's, since sulcal labels are "included" in gyri:
- the superior bank of cingulate sulcus is transfered to superior frontal gyrus, and its inferior bank is transfered to the cingulate
gyrus
- similarly, the inferior bank of pericallosal sulcus is transfered to corpus callosum and its superior one is transfered to the cingulate gyrus
I hope that my explanations are clear enough ;
PS a new version of my atlas should be available soon with subdivision of the cingulate sulcus and gyrus according to the one proposed by voogt and al
cheers
Hi,
I just mapped these on the fsaverage lh.inflated. By images of the folding patterns, do you mean pial or smoothwm images from fsaverage? Or do you mean data from single subjects?

Hi Lars,
you need to send images of the folding patterns for Christophe and Rahul to decide.

Hi, I have an area of significance on the mesial surface of the hemisphere (please see attached tiffs). I would like to know if it is exclusively
in
the cingulate or in cingulate and SFG. The prolbem is that the two
atlases
don't agree. The upper more than half of this significant area is in
SFG
according to lh.aparc.annot and in cingulate gyrus and sulcus
according to
lh.aparc.a2005s.annot.
I know there have been some issues before with cingulate and SFG in
the
Destrieux atals (
http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg05399.html)
but it's unlcear to me whether these have been resolved. As you can
see from
the tiffs, in lh.aparc.annot the significant area is inside the corpus callosum (a small part), caudal and rostral ant. cingulate, and SFG.
In
lh.aparc.a2005s.annot it is inside pericallosal sulcus, g. cingulate
main
part, s. cingulate main part, and only a very small part of it extends
into
SFG. These are substantially different interpretations. Is one atlas more accurate in this region?
Thank you!
