Dear colleagues
fro the mailing list I understood that there had been a few of you having the same question as mine, however I couldn't get an exact answer to it.
I am using TOM template to create a group specific template based on the data from NIH study (that I suppose works the best for a group of 42 8-11 year old children). and I used that template in normalization step during preprocessing. it goes without saying that there is no meaningful dependence or relation between this template and the known template for adults (e.g. MNI template) and it makes the interpretation of the activation spots quite tricky!! since I cannot use the coordinates given by SPM and look them up in available brain atlases to find the anatomical point for activation. (as these atlases are all based on adults brains)
sop how can I report about the anatomical point of activation. i am not very good at anatomy too look at the activity and guess the name of that point. even if I was that wouldn't be scientifically accepted I suppose
Thanks in advance for your help
