Hi Inge,
that looks like posterior hippocampus. We constrain the pial and white surfaces to not move in non-cortical regions so that they don't contribute to the volume/surface area of the ribbon. There's a label named ?h.cortex.label that is automatically created that gives the region of the surface that is cortex (as opposed to ventricles, caudate, hippocampus, etc...).
cheers, Bruce

Hello list, when I process on v3.05 I notice areas where the pial and wm surfaces intersect, giving cortical thickness = 0. This is usually seen in the medial temporal area.
Is this a known issue, and how should I deal with it?
See attached screenshots.
Have a nice day Inge Amlien Department of Psychology University of Oslo
