The subcortical segmentation identifies subcortical structures such as thalamus, basal ganglia structures, hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum. The cortical parcellation delineates different areas of the cortex, such as the superior temporal sulcus, the central sulcus, the pars triangularis, opercularis, and orbitalis of the inferior frontal gyrus. A recommendation is to get a copy of the Duvernoy atlas, which covers definitions of different parts of the cortex. The Mai atlas is good for learning subcortical structures.

Hello All,
I have a question about "segmentation" and "parcellation".
What is the difference between the subcortical segmentation and the cortical parcellation? Especially I do not understand the difference between subcortical and cortical and between segmentation and parcellation. I tried to read FreeSurfer Wiki, but I did not understand it well. Could you tell me it?
Thanks.
Kenichiro Tanaka.
