Vtot is the estimated total volume of the left LGN; VM, VP, and VI, the volumes of the magnocellular and parvocellular laminae as well as the interlaminar regions, respectively. Ntot the estimated total number of neurons in the left LGN. NM and NP the estimated numbers of neurons in the magnocellular and parvocellular parts of the LGN, respectively. Mean estimator coefficient of error (CE) and inter-individual coefficient of variation (CV) are listed for all measures. The mean CEs are calculated for each group as the square root of the mean of the respective squared CE estimates for each individual within the group
