Hi Kristina, sorry for the delay. Each of these stats files represents a different atlas. The aparc.area.stats is from the Desikan-Killiany atlas, the a2005s is from the Destrieux atlas. The DK atlas has larger ROIs (too large for some) and is build from 39 subjects. The Destrieux atlas has many small ROIs and is built from about 12 subjects. Since the DK atlas has larger ROIs, the boundaries are probably going to be more reliable. But if the ROIs are too big, then go to the Destrieux atlas doug
