Hi Doug, Thanks again for your reply. One last question: The aseg.mgz file includes the cortex as well. If I want to extract the cortex from the aseg.mgz file, should I binarize both the aseg.mgz and aparc_aseg.mgz files and subtract them, and then use the result in the mri_segstats command, or is there a different way?
