control variable, the ICV or something new from autorecon3? Thanks Karl > From: mha...@conte.wustl.edu > To: remembe...@hotmail.com > Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2010 12:04:35 -0600 > CC: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] How to adjust cortical thickness/area/volume

BTW: You can't "sum" the thicknesses across the various regions in the aparc files, as that would be a meaningless measure. You either need to compute the average cortical thickness as I suggested, or compute a weighted mean from the data in the aparc files, in which you weight each region's thic

Yes, I think that using average cortical thickness is a reasonable covariate to use in thickness analyses. And total cortical surface area likewise if you are analyzing regional surface areas, although in the case of surface area you need to decide whether to use areas based on the GM or WM surfa

Hello, Freesurfer experts: I found to report subcortical volumetric measure, ie, the volume of amygdale, people tend to use icv as a control variable. Is there any corresponding measure to correct the cortical thickness/area/volume results from autorecon3. Because we have priori hypothesis of
