Hi, FreeSurfer experts

I am posting it here again since I still have not had the issue solved. Basically, I find that white matter surface does not follow the wm.mgz file (see the attached files). It is strange that such a problem is only located at the precentral gyrus. I checked  the white matter original surface and the inflated surface and they look fine. I also went through wm.mgz slice by slice to see if there is abrupt gradient between slices and it doe not seem to have that either. I also checked the orig.nofix with defects_label overlaied as suggested by Bruce and I do not see red marks close to the region (see attached file). So I wonder if anyone would help on solving the issue.

Many thanks in advance

Leon

Hi Leon

can you cc the list so others can answer? I don't have any experience
with monkey recons so I'm not going to be able to be all that helpful.
Check the filled.mgz and see if the surface follows it, and if so we'll
have to figure out why that region is being turned on in the filled
cheers
Bruce
