Assunto: Re: [Freesurfer] Brodmann area thickness, surface area and volume

Hi all,

I want to study Brodmann Areas cortical thickness, surface area and  
volume. I've added the 5.2 BAxxx.threshold.label to my 5.0 fsaverage  
and run the recon-all BA labels command. Now I run aparcstats2table  
and get a table with the values but they are the same as before  
running the BAxxx.threshold.label.

So, everything is working but the values haven't changed. Am I missing  
something? Do I need to run any other command so to the threshold have  
effect?
