Hi Krishna,
how does your brainmask look? In my experience, if you use bet to create a brainmask for monkeys, occasionally the brain center is positioned to far posterior. This seems to cause to a loss of frontal gray & white matter in the brainmask. That in turn, would "crop" these parts away from what is considered for the reconstruction. Then since I have no clue about your workflow an procedere this might not actually be helpful...

Hi,
I have a (0.35 mm)^3 resolution monkey brain which I am trying to segment. I am unable to get the frontal cortex to segment properly. My WM.mgz looks good ( I think), but after I do "recon-all -autorecon2-wm ", the surf that gets created has no frontal cortex. I have attached two pictures of one slice, with generated surface overlaid on WM.mgz ( WM_Surf133.jpg) and the same generated surface on T1 image (NU-Surf133.jpg). I tried adding control points, I manually edited the WM.mgz and nothing works. Any help will be appreciated..
