I see now, thanks for the answer. If I may, is there any particular reason why such a disparity between two subjects, is this due to anatomical variability between individuals? I was surprised by the 9,000 values that was missing.

The entire medial wall has thickness values of 0 because there is no cortex there. There needs to be a surface in that area because we need a closed surface.

Hello All,

Quick question, I ran recon-all with the qcache option and after converting the ?.thickness.fsaverage.mgh to an ascii text file via mri_convert I am noticing some vertices have 0mm thickness and it varies, for example, one subject had 53 vertices labeled as zeros while another had over 9,000 vertices. Is there a method I can use to have a thickness value for each of the 163000+ vertices? I am not sure if this is a possible registration issue to mni305. 

Thanks in advance,
Taha
