Hi The HCP course tractography practical would be a good way to start (see page 386 onwards):
https://wustl.app.box.com/s/wna2cu94pqgt8zskg687mj8zlmfj1pq7 Briefly, if you have a number of surfaces (need to convert them to ASCII using surf2surf) and subcortical volumes you can merge them into text files and use those as seeds. This will get you a dense connectome which you can then parcellate using any parcellation scheme you would like.

So for clarification, you would use the following command: wb_command -cifti-separate merged.dlabel.nii COLUMN -volume-all subcort.nii.gz To obtain the subcortical volumes. What about the cortical ones? Is the file Q1-Q6_RelatedValidation210.CorticalAreas_dil_Final_Final_Areas_Group_Colors.32k_fs_LR.dlabel.nii already usable as input to FSL? I thought I would need a .gii file. Or do I need to use the option in wb_command -cifti-separate: [-label] - repeatable - separate a surface model into a surface label file. In this case, what would be the argument for “<structure> - the structure to output” ?

Now my goal would be to run a tractography analysis and obtain structural connectivity matrices using this cortical+subcortical parcellation. Could you suggest the simplest way to go from my dlabel file to something that is compatible with diffusion software? I know that probtrackx accepts GIFTIs as input, but I was wondering about how to extend this to subcortical areas. Or rather would the simplest solution be to convert each subject’s parcellation into a series of NIFTI files in native/standard space and input these as ROIs into probtrackx? In this case, could you recommend the correct series of workbench commands? I am also open to other software recommendations besides the FSL suite.
