Hi Stephen

why do you say it invalidates the morphometry? And we need to know what pial surface editing you did in order to answer your questions (and what recon-all steps you rerean)

Hi Bruce,

Thanks again for your help at the FreeSurfer course. I've corrected the pial 
surface
manually (knowing that this invalidates the morphometry, but that by restoring 
the medial
surface it does let me process functional data).  Having done this, do I need 
to remake
spheres and patches, or are these unchanged?  For example, when using 
mri_vol2surf, does
freesurfer know what elements to sample by consulting the ?h.orig and ?h.pial, 
or are there
downstream files I should update as well?

Thanks!

      Hi Stephen

      no, sorry. There are others on the list that have extensive experience in 
using
      FS for NHP. Hopefully one of them can answer?

            Hi,

            Did you have a chance to take a look at this? The basics shouldn't
            be
            NHP-specific, so I'd still value your input even though I know you
            work only
            with humans.

                  Hi Bruce,

                  As requested, I'm transferring over the entire folder. It's
                  saved as 140107OTIS_from_Shepherd_attn_Fischl.tar.gz

            Our pipeline appears to sidestep aseg (I'm not precisely sure why or
            how). I have what I think are a reasonable brainmask.mgz and wm.mgz,
            which appear to be the two key files to target for manual edits. But
            when I proceed to the next step:
               recon-all -autorecon2-wm -subjid 140107OTIS -cc-crs 128 108 168
            -pons-crs 128 255 128 -noaseg
            there are divots in the grey matter in the ACC just anterior and
            dorsal to the genu and in middle OFC. I'm not sure why.
            Additionally,
            the wm edits in occipital do not appear to be helping. This is
            easiest
            to see if I run
               tkmedit 140107OTIS brain.mgz -aux wm.mgz -surfs
            select a point just to the side of midline (e.g. 125 103 128) and
            switch to a sagittal view.

            Thanks for your help.

                  can you upload the whole subject dir? Also, why is there
                  no aseg for this subject?

                  Ares of concern are
                  * ACC (e.g. 123 105 208) - maybe misses a thin wm
                  bundle? or won't grow grey from CC?
                  * OFC (e.g. 123 133 218) - may be excluded as
                  Olfactory Bulb, or bc too bright.
                  * Occ (e.g. 115 109 97) - mostly poor scan quality;
                  may require manual overpaint.

                        Are the ventricles and callosum correctly
                  labeled? If you upload a subject I'll
                        try to take a look
