In the release notes for 5.3 i find
Stable release version 5.3.0 is a bug fix release to correct the problem with pial and white surface creation affecting thickness and area measures.
Is this only related to netative thickness values, which i have never found. I have 150 subjects * 3 timepoints that i ran
on a cluster with condor linux and freesurfer version 5.1 i myself inspected time point 1 and did analysis and did not
find any unusual problems. i am preparing to do a longitudinal analysis of all 3 timepoints and wondering if
i should reprocess and reinspect everything, considering the bug fix and improvements for longitudinal stream.
thanks
