Dear FreeSurfer experts,
Can you please indicate the number of vertices FreeSurfer use in each hemisphere to reconstruct the brain (e.g., cortical thickness)? Is there a fixed number or an approx. number?
Many thanks, Daniel

Hi Daniel
the number of vertices will vary depending on the surface area and geometry of the white matter for each hemisphere.
cheers Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Is it okay to say that it is approximately 160,000 vertices per hemisphere? I found the answer from a paper (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3824100/pdf/fnhum-07-00722.pdf ).
Best, Daniel
it's usually a bit less than that - aroudn 140K or so Bruce

Thanks! That number helps. Just want to get an approx. number in general.
Best, Daniel
