Hello,
I have a question regarding the parcellation of the rat cortex. I am interested in parcellating the cortex into distinct regions using an atlas and then finding grey matter volumes for each region. I realize that Freesurfer is primarily meant to be used on human subjects, but is it possible to replace the MNI atlas with a rat atlas (like the LONI rat atlas) during the parcellation step? Thanks for your time and help.
best wishes,
Mike
Hi Mike
there may be people who have done it, but we (at MGH) haven't as far as I know.
