Dear FreeSurfers,
I am editing a paper on subcortical volumes in deficit schizophrenia after some reviewers' comments. On of them suggested me to correct the volumes of subcortical structures for whole brain volume instead of intracranial volume. In the reviewer's opinion ICV estimated by FreeSurfer 5.1 has a bad quality and is not reliable. However, neither the reviewer provides any evidence, nor I could find any... Is there any evidence for this?
Thanks in advance,
Pietro
