There is no separate label for Wernike's (it is a functional, not anatomical, definition). Heschl's gyrus is separate from STG.

Perhaps Christophe can weigh in on his labels.

Dear All,

I am new to freesurfer and would appreciate your help with the following questions.

I tried to look through the previous posts but couldn’t find the answers to all my questions.

Thank you in advance.

Best,

My question:

I wanted to look at certain language related regions in the brain such as Heschl’s gyrus, Wernicke’s area, and planum temporale.

I am looking at the lh.aparc.stats file right now. I see that there is a label for superior temporal gyrus which would involve all these three regions.

I was wondering if Heschl’s gyrus, Wernicke’s area, and planum temporale are also segmented and labelled separately.

In the previous posts, I saw that anterior portion of transverse temporal corresponds to Heschl’s gyrus, and under lh.aparc.stats file it is labelled as transversetemporal.

I am still not sure about planum temporale and Wernicke’s areas though. I saw planum temporale in the lh.aparc.a2009s.stats file (it is called G_temp_sup-Plan-tempo, if I am correct). However, I am not sure if it is a good idea getting values from two different stat files (planum temporale from this one, and the rest from the other). Also, could you tell me if Wernicke’s area is segmented, and if so how is it labelled?
