External Email - Use Caution
Hello,
I am a graduate student at the University of Arizona and we have been using the FreeSurfer Program to reconstruct MRI data from healthy patients and patients with a mild cognitive impairment. We are comparing the statistics for different brain regions, however, we would like to take age and gender into consideration. Does the main atlas used to map/segment regions in the brain have a default (male) brain or certain age? If so, is there a way to specify the data is from a female during the recon all code? Such as a tag at the end? Is it possible to include something like this for age as well? Thank you for your time.
Best,
Carissa Grijalva

To the best of my knowledge, there is not way to tell recon-all about demographics/subject meta data, and you do not need to worry about this during recon-all. Instead, you would add age and gender as covariates in your model later.

Ok thank you. Would using the qdec table help in this case?
