FreeSurfer aseg · source label Left-Hippocampus, Right-Hippocampus
On the template
FreeSurfer aseg. Values describe the fsaverage template, not an individual or a population norm.
| Side | Label (as in source) | Volume, cm³ | Centroid MNI152, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| left | Left-Hippocampus | 5.17 | -26, -24, -13 |
| right | Right-Hippocampus | 5.39 | 27, -22, -13 |
Area: pial surface of the fsaverage average, which is smoother than individual cortex. Volume: voxel count of the fsaverage aseg segmentation at 1 mm isotropic.
