Hi Ignacio, the thickness is definitely affected by factors such as sequence type, field strength and acquisition parameters (not to mention age, maybe gender, etc...) so I think you need to acquire your own control(s) on a matched acquisition. cheers. Bruce On Tue, 5 Jul 2011, Ignacio Let

Hi Ignacio, I see. You could do that, but I don't think it will show what you want. There is a big geometric component to the thickness - crowns are thick and fund are thin - so at the very least you might try including mean curvature as a covariate. cheers Bruce On Fri, 1 Jul 2011, Ignacio

Sorry I didn't realize since you have the same domain. Ok, Let's say I do know the mean cortical thickness value of a subject. Then is it possible know what brain areas differ more from that mean value by using a color map visualization (I.e. for example: red = higher deviations, deep blue = low

Hi Ignacio you mean different from the median in that subject? Easy enough to do in matlab, but we don't have anything out of the box to do it cheers Bruce On Fri, 1 Jul 2011, Ignacio Letelier wrote: Hi forum Is it possible to get statistical maps of  cortical thickness differences in th
