Hi Liane

can you cc the list so others can answer? You will get better and faster answers that way, and also others will be able to learn from the replies.

thanks

Thanks so much.As as clarification: should I make edits to the brainmask.mgz

or norm.mgz file. 
Likewise, is this the correct command to run to fix edits to the subcortical
segmentation:
 
normalization -maskbfs -segmentation -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3.

Thank you again for all of your help

      Hi Liane
      the brainmask is not for subcortical segmentation - use the
      norm.mgz if you want to visualize subcortical structures

      Hello, 
      I noticed that when I am checking the subcortical
      segmentation the brainmask does not accurately display the
      subcortical structures 
      ( ie. the putamen is too small). The segmentation appears
      to be correct when I compare it to the original
      file. Does anyone know why this is the case?
      Also, if I make changes to the subcortical segmentation
      based on the original file will this change accurately
      edit the brainmask?

      Thank you.
      Sincerely, 
      Liane
