Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Corrections for the Pial surface
Hi Antonella,
1. Can you load the lh.orig or rh.orig surface explicitly and see if it is shown? Is the "orig surface" button clicked in the interface?
2. the hippocampus and amygdala are not neocortical structures and shouldn't be included in the surfaces (in fact, the surfaces in those regions are somewhat arbitrary as they don't have the laminar architecture we are
expecting).
cheers
Bruce
