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.

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.

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?

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