Hi Liam,
I downloaded the FSL-ROI toolbox and was able to get the regions you
mentioned roi004. You said that this represented the Left DLPFC, but the
HarvardOxford-combo-labels.txt file states that this is the Left Middle Frontal
Gyrus. Is the Left DLPFC in fact the Left Middle Frontal Gyrus? I know they
are in a similar area in the brain, but I need to know if this includes the entire
Left DLPFC. I am trying to compute the total number of activated volxels in
this area.
Thanks,
Eric

don't know the numbers for the other regions you are looking for. Therefore,
you will just have to play around and take note of which roi number represents
which region.
