Dear FreeSurfer and hippocampal subfield segmentation developers,
I have noted that the FS6.0 hippocampal subfield segmentation procedure was developed using scans of older adult brains. Has the application of this method to kids, adolescents and/or young adults in any way been validated? Or do you have any thoughts regarding such use of the method?
I would think this would be an issue for young kids that have markedly different brain volumes, but not for older kids and young adults that differ less dramatically from older adults. But I would greatly appreciate any input regarding this.
Best regards,
Christian
