It is a little confusing, but when you pass a map with -t  lh.map,  then the values in the map go into the column labeled "thickness" regardless of what the map is. When you then run aparcstats2table and specify "thickness" you get whatever is in the thickness column regardless of whether it is thickness or not.

Thank you Douglas, but I'm afraid I'm still missing the point.
The -m option allows me measuring area (default), volume, thickness, thicknessstd, meancurv, gauscurv, foldind, curvind. Anyway my problem regards gyrification index, so I cannot understand why you suggested me to use -m thickness.

Thank you.
Best,

That call to aparcstats2table will give you the surface area. Use "-m
thickness". With this, it will report whatever you passed as the -t
option to mris_anatomical_stats (rh.pial_lgi in this case).
