Dear Rujing,
After recon-all and qcache, for correlation analysis, I have performed qdec by 
using a matrix that contains NPS test, 3 nuisance factors and one groups.For 
groups analysis I have applied mri_glmfit as described in the guide. Nothing in 
particular.

Stefano

Dear 
Stefano,
I also want to make a correlation analysis between 
thickness and behavior data. Would you please send me your precious scripts for 
group analysis( unpaired t-test and correlation analysis) after recon-all? I 
want to study it if I get your permission.
Thanks.
All the best.

Dear Douglas, thank you very much for you kind reply.
In the paper I have 3 groups (2 diseases and 1 controls).
I have performed cortical thickness analysis among groups, individuating 
relevant difference in the posterior regions. 
Next, for one group, I have used qdec to individuate statistically 
significant regions where NPS test scores and thickness were correlated. 3 
nuisance factors was also added to regressor. All results were corrected for 
multiple comparisons by using a pre-cached cluster-wise Monte-Carlo 
Simulation.
qdec analysis results have individuated a "composite region" (superior 
parietal cortex and precuneus) where NPS correlated with thinning. 
Now, if I understand, I should extract the mean thickness from superior 
parietal cortex and precuneus and I should perform a linear regression (and 
partial correlation) with an other statistical program (SPSS for example).
Is there a better way to perform a regression the most possible similar to 
qdec computation?




Stefano

What did you do in the paper? The reviewer mentions a "composite 

region". Did you average the thickness over that region and then do the 

regression with NPS?

Sorry, I 
don't understand what the reviewer is asking for.
