How old is your pediatric subject? Collaborators have had success using the standard pipeline from about 4.5yrs of age. You do not need a new / different template in case you want to process that population. You might however want to read about some child-specific manual edit recommendations: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ChildBrainManualEdits

You don't need a different template for the surface-based analysis. I'm not sure about the volume-based analysis. I'm cc'ing Lilla in case she wants to weigh in.

External Email - Use Caution
Dear Freesurfer experts,
I am using a pediatric sample for my study. I understand that the default template has been used with younger samples in the past. However, is there a command or flag to input an external template, such as the MNI? Otherwise, is there a method for creating my own template using the acquired imaged with Freesurfer? I cannot seem to find many resources online for selecting alternate templates in the preprocessing steps of recon-all.
Warm regards, Olivier Brown
