Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the reply. My main question is how to best visualize subcortical 
activation in a figure.

Sometimes we do see some subcortical activation (like the attached, which is a 
random search) (if the attachment does not work, please see the example here: 
http://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/18483/fnhum-06-00021-HTML/image_m/fnhum-06-00021-g003.jpg).

Is it okay to visualize such subcortical activation via tksurfer? If not, could 
you please recommend a method to visualize subcortical activation?

Sincerely,
Daniel

HI Daniel

no, that won't work. Vol2surf samples a volume to an existig surface and
none of the subcortical structures will be anywere near the cortical
surface. You would need to run mri_tessellate on each subcortical label
that you want to generate a  surface for, but I'm still not sure what you
are trying to do.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks! and yes, I used mri_vol2surf to convert subcortical region as a
volume file to surface (mgh file) and then visualize it with tksurfer.
According to what you said, this is still valid, right?

Best,
Daniel

Hi Daniel

no, tksurfer visualizes surfaces exclusively, and the subcortical
structures are volumetric by and large. You could tesselate their surface
and view it in tksurfer, or just use tkmediit or freeview.

cheers

Dear FreeSurfer experts,

I find that tksurfer allows me to visualize subcortical areas such as
hippocampus. The
visualization looks valid to me.

Can tksurfer be used in this way?

Thanks!!
Daniel
