Hi Christophe, I uploaded both subjects that I showed the snapshots for yesterday into the FS FTP drop site. (Do you have access to that?)
cheers, -MH

Hi Michael the limen insula explanation sounds ok, even if it's extension on the medial surface seem really large. would you have a snapshot to look on the volume to which structure this label anatomically corresponds to ? Also did you had a look to the results of the insula aparc with the 2009a atlas? cd

I'm not itching to re-process this data so I like that explanation as well. I think my main concern is that that bit of insula label seems somewhat arbitrary and inconsistent, in that some subjects have this bit of medial tissue labelled as insula, whereas others don't. (Even within the same subject, it isn't consistent between the two hemispheres).
I guess it is just a matter of the sulcal variability and atlas labeling resulting in variability in that particular region. Presumably, Ron must have labelled that bit of tissue as "insula" in some subjects, but not others??
Ron: It would be great to hear what kind of "rule" you applied when labeling the individual subjects in the atlas in that particular region when deciding whether it should be considered insula or medial/lateral orbitofrontal.
thanks, -MH

wow, I like that answer much more than "it's a bug"! Can we go with Paul's explanation?

I asked a neuroanatomist and insula expert on my campus about this a while back and this was his response: "This is the region of the "limen insulae" that you will remember Dr. Heimer referring to often in the brain dissection course. The insula is defined as cortex which is covered by a lid of other cortical lobes, frontal, parietal and temporal. They all fold over except at the inferior frontal end where a little bit of the surface of otherwise insular cortex is not covered, and this little corner peeks out. This is the limeninsula which neighbors the olfactory cortex on the inferior surface of the frontal lobe and the medial surface of the temporal lobe, and is olfactory cortex itself. Since it is not covered over, it technically might not be considered really "insular" but it is obviously in continuity with, and not separated by any kind of sulcus or other landmark, from the rest of the insular covered cortex. So we are left with no secure boundary line between insular cortex and inferior frontal and medial temporal cortex in this corner. It looks like Freesurfer has decided to call it all insular, and with good functional reasons."
Cheers,

I'm not sure - I think the insula was an additional label that Ron Killiany added. I'll cc Ron to see if he has any insight. It certainly looks too medial to me. I would also check on the white surface just to make sure that it's not a quirk of the inflation. If the aseg looks right we could certainly put together some simple auto-editing to correct this kind of thing cheers Bruce On Thu, 7 Aug 2014, Harms, Michael wrote: Hi, An astute RA, while reviewing the aparc+aseg.mgz of brains processed with FS 5.3, noticed a fair number of instances, where the insula label "wraps around" pretty medially, where she was expecting to see orbitofrontal as the label. See attached jpg's for two examples shown on the inflated surface. Since this is fairly common, I'm assuming that this isn't anything to be concerned about, but just wanted to confirm. Has this always been the behavior of the insula label, and we just didn't notice it previously? thanks, -MH -- Michael Harms, Ph.D. ----------------------------------------------------------- Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders Washington University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Box 8134 660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173 St. Louis, MO 63110 Email: mharms@wustl.edu
