Thank you Bruce and Douglas,

I meant to combine them because I did not want overlaps.

Can I advance one more question as we are here. How can I get an average thickness of the entire lateral temporal lobe (inferior, medial, temporal gyri)? The average of the three gyri may not be useful as one gyrus may be bigger and should be counted accordingly in the average thickness of the entire lateral part.

Thank you.

Not by default, bu you can create one easily enough with

cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/subject
mri_aparc2aseg --s subject --labelwm --hypo-as-wm --rip-unknown
--volmask --o mri/wmparc.a2009s.mgz --a2009s --ctxseg aparc.a2009s+aseg.mgz
