Computational procedures can be used to model the brain and to measure the structural properties of brain tissue within defined regions. The figure demonstrates the automated (A) parcellation of the cerebral cortex based on gyral anatomy and (B) segmentation of subcortical regions by the Freesurfer software suite (freesurfer.net). The amount of tissue in the different regions is typically compared between groups to determine regional vulnerability to degenerative processes.
