Yes, you're right. But in that case, these changes would be quite similar for right-hippocampus too. Based on my analysis and literature, Freesurfer has more accurate measures than FSL. The doctors are quite conservative about boundaries so that measures are the smallest between Freesurfer and FSL

Hi Ana the point is that even if you aren't segmenting individual structures, if some are not in your manual protocol but are in ours, then lateralization in them will cause lateralization differences in the degree of overlap between the two cheers Bruce On Wed, 3 Oct 2012, Ana Arruda wrot

if their definition of what is and is not hippocampus differs from the one we use then you will get different volumes. You need to find out what they defined as part of it and see if it matches our protocol cheers Bruce On Tue, 2 Oct 2012, Ana Arruda wrote: > The manual protocol was made by
