You can merge them together with a combination of mris_annotation2label
to split the annotation into different labels, then merge the labels you
want with mri_mergelabels, then use mris_anatomical_stats to compute a
stats file. Alternatively, and probably easier, is just to compute an
average of the labels listed below weighted by the number of vertices.

External Email - Use Caution
Hello,
I am working on obtaining cortical thickness values for customized
groups of ROIs. Currently, I extract thickness values for the standard
set of ROIs using the following command:
|aparcstats2table --subjects [SUBJECT_ID] --hemi lh --meas thickness
--tablefile lh_thickness.csv|
However, I would like to compute the mean thickness for a specific
anatomical region, such as the *right cingulate lobe*, which consists
of the following ROIs:
* |ctx-rh-caudalanteriorcingulate|
* |ctx-rh-rostralanteriorcingulate|
* |ctx-rh-isthmuscingulate|
* |ctx-rh-posteriorcingulate|
Does FreeSurfer provide a built-in feature to compute mean thickness
for such grouped regions? If not, what would be the most
methodologically sound approach? I considered computing a
*volume-weighted average thickness*, but I would appreciate your
insights on the best way to proceed.
Looking forward to your guidance.
Thanks,
*Rohit*
