On the template
HCP-1065 tracts. Values describe the fsaverage template, not an individual or a population norm.
| Side | Label (as in source) | Mean length, mm | Centroid MNI152, mm |

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.
