I guess you could compute the intersection of the cortex labels. Easy enough to do in matlab once you map them all to a common space. Not sure if we have anything that will do it, but we might. Perhaps someone else knows?

Hi Dr. Fischl and Dr. Greve,
So moving the mouse over the medial wall seems to have all vertices within that 
to have a zero mm
thickness as expected. The yellow outline is the lh.cortex.label and it seems 
to look good to me i.e.
majority of the medial wall is properly masked. To be noted, this was the 
subject with 53 vertices
labeled as 0s, which as you mentioned should be a substantial number. I am 
wondering what could be
causing this? 

Lastly, I was wondering for cortical thickness analysis, is there a method to 
ensure the same number of
vertices across all subjects with a corresponding mm thickness value. I have 
yet to try some commands,
but preemptively I think if using mri_label2label with the trglabel 
lh.cortex.label as found in
fsaverage directory and for each subject map their lh.cortex.label to 
fsaverage's lh.cortex.label and
then from here I know I can run mris_anatomical_stats to extract average 
thickness, is there a command
maybe using mris_convert with the label option to convert the label to the 
white surface and then using
mris_convert with a -c option to have the scalar mm values corresponding to 
each vertex? or is this not
a recommended approach? I would like ultimately import this into MATLAB to do 
some statistics and then
view in freeview as a scalar overlay. Please advise.

Thanks for the help,
Taha

      Hi Taha

      none that I can think of. The medial wall is pretty substantial region 
though - I am more
      concerned about your subject with only 53 vertices in it. You can 
visualize it by loading
      the ?h.cortex.label onto the inflated surface. Everything not in the 
label should be set to
      0

            I see now, thanks for the answer. If I may, is there any particular 
reason why
            such a disparity between
            two subjects, is this due to anatomical variability between 
individuals? I was
            surprised by the 9,000
            values that was missing.

                  The entire medial wall has thickness values of 0 because 
there is no

surface.

                  Hello All,
            Quick question, I ran recon-all with the qcache option and after 
converting the
            ?.thickness.fsaverage.mgh to an ascii text file via mri_convert I 
am noticing
            some vertices
            have 0mm thickness and it varies, for example, one subject had 53 
vertices
            labeled as zeros
            while another had over 9,000 vertices. Is there a method I can use 
to have a
            thickness value
            for each of the 163000+ vertices? I am not sure if this is a 
possible
            registration issue to
            mni305. 

            Thanks in advance,
            Taha
