Hi all,

I am interested in automated segmentation of temporal lobe using freesurfer. I understand that it is possible to add up the individual regions of a specific lobe, create one massive label for that lobe, and get statistics on those. But I am not sure about the practicality of this approach for two reasons; first if all the regions of a temporal lobe can be labeled by Free Surfer, second because I am thinking that the most medial border of the superior temporal lobe could be my arbitrary cut off point of segmenting the temporal lobe, what anatomical/imaging feature has been defined for Free Surfer that distinguishes the white matter of the superior temporal lobe from the stem of temporal lobe (or say putamen) . I would appreciate a response asap.

cheers
