Thanks! The file that we looked into was an MSMSulc file. I guess that the difference of 10 indices/vertices between left and right hemis exists for an MSMAll file as well, but I haven’t checked it yet.
One comment: The medial wall has been left out in CIFTI files because the medial wall is not cortical grey matter. This is legitimate, however, it introduces confusions when communicating between CIFTI and GIFTI files. It would be nice if HCP developers, in future, consider a version of CIFTI with medial wall included.
