This is a trial getting lobal measure from the whole brain segmentation from neuromorphometrica.

- Occipital
- Temporal
- Additional/Extra
- Cerebellum
- Brain Stem
- Subcortical
- Cingulate
Talking to Jeremy on Feb. 06 2015:
- Wiki page has a nice hierarchical table of the lobes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrus
- Free surfer white matter pacellation can be used to help our lobar definition with neuromorphometric.
- Major four lobes are usefully regions of interest.
- Extra regions are less important for now (e.g., subcortical, limbic system, cingulate). In addition, there is no general consensus on how each regions should belong to which lobes for cingulate, limbic and center of the brain.
- Focus on a reasonable lobar definition in a short time period. Labels can be improved later in a long term with neuroanatomist.

Enjoy Movie: baw_lobar_model.mov
Result seems good in general BUT
- I feel that the WM/GM edge is over-smoothed.
- We cannot do further on this though. We should make it better for multi-modal HD atlases.
FreeSurfer WM trial
- Generate FreeSurfer Label for 20 neuromorphometric atlases in BAW space (Hans, done)
- Generate Lobar regions by combining neuromorphometric and FreeSurfer
- Identify lobar labels for white matter from FreeSurfer: FS_WM_label
- Mask out FS_WM_label with neuromorphometric white matter label (movie: FS_WM_masked_1001.mov)
- Somehow combine those two labels so that FS_WM_label does not contaminate neuromorphometric's clean manual label.
- Include FS_WM_label into our lobar definition
- Investigate results

Distance Map WM trial
Initial segment movie:
Neuromorphometrical Label To Lobar label (and distance map):
Working Directory:
/Shared/johnsonhj/HDNI/20150202_MALF_LobalDefinition/DistanceMapTrial
Idea:
- Compute distance maps from four major lobes: Frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobe
- Assign one of four major lobes based on above distance maps
- Mask out brain region, excluding blood and ventricles
- Over-write additional regions:
- Cingulate
- Limbic --> Not sure we have these yet.
- Cerebellum
- Subcortical
- Brain Stem
Distance Map Trial ~ 20150204: Looks reasonable. We will try with FreeSurfer WM parcellation and see which one is better.
- Read in label map between neuromorphometric and lobar (done)
- Relabel all the cortex into lobar label (done)
- Compute distance maps for each lobar label (done)
- Assign the lobar label that has the least distance value. (done)
