Thanks Martin!. I have another quick question. I am also interested in looking at developmental changes in the brain during adolescence period in normal subjects and also comparing our controls to our clinical cohort. Examples in the longitudinal processing stream tutorial have only mentioned volume and thickness, so I was wondering if area is also something we could include in our analyses. I successfully generated rate of change, spc, pc1 etc .mgz files in the post processing stage using 'long_mris_slopes' using '--meas area', but I just wanted to make sure if rate of change in surface area using freesurfer longitudinal stream and also the corresponding significance maps using tksurfer is something we can report in our manuscript. I haven't found any papers reporting changes in the surface area using fs long stream so I was wondering if this measure is good to go or if it is something that is still work in progress. Thanks for your help!

(am not too familiar with that tool). Maybe someone else knows as this is the same for any analysis run via qdec (I cc'ed Nick who probably knows more). If qdec cannot do it, you can probably find the gamma.mgh file in the glm/constrast subdirectory and then open it with tksurfer.

I successfully generated correlation significance map using qdec for the longitudinal data we processed, but I am also interested in looking at just simple average across all subjects. Thanks so much!
