This table refers to the final parcellation scheme used on our Training set (see method) to build the automated labeling software included in the FreeSurfer package since August 2009 (Freesurfer v4.5, aparc.a2009s/Destrieux.simple.2009-07-29.gcs atlas).

For each anatomical region, the following information is provided: arbitrary index referring to the text, tables and figures of this paper, short name as it appears in the interface window of FreeSurfer, long name and alternative names also found in the literature, terms found in the Terminologia Anatomica are bold typed, inflated view (see fig. 1) on which this label is visible (A: anterior, I: inferior, L: lateral, M: medial, P: posterior, S: superior), boundary corrected concordance index (CIC), and average area (cm2) for right (Rh) and left (Lh) hemispheres. To limit the influence of possible manual labeling inconsistency on the values of areas provided here, we included individual values obtained from the manual and automated (jack-knifing) procedure for each subject. No statistical comparison was provided given the small size of the sample and the large number of parcellations.
