To whom it may concern,

I'm writing in regard to the thread below about using the sum of the hippocampal subfield volumes (excluding the hippocampal fissure). I'm finding that they are moderate-highly correlated with the hippocampal volumes from ASEG (~.75-.85). Do you have a sense of which of these measures would be more reliable than the other? Thanks so much for your help!!

Best,

Mike
