Hi Adam,
No, Freesurfer is not able to extract the neonatal cortical ribbon and I am not aware of other automatic research tools that would be able to do that.

Hello there,
Is FreeSurfer able to extract the neonatal cortical ribbon? Typically babies have a much better contrast with their T2 than with their T1. I know FS uses the T1 so I assume babies are not well handled by the usual processing. If not FS, are you aware of another suite which can extract the cortical surface for babies, or using the T2?
Many thanks!
Adam

I'm not, either, but I think some good brains are working on it (not mine).
