I really don't know whether or not I should forward it to the list or
not (it said please alert other interested parties), but the following
email may be of interest to some.  It won't answer your immediate
questions, but it could be of great potential use for structure
labelling in future:


        Dear fellow brain imagers and labelers,
        
        Jason Tourville and Ruth Carper have developed a cortical
        parcellation (anatomical labeling) protocol that will be used by
        trained personnel to manually label an initial set of at least
        800 to 1,000 T1-weighted MRI brain volumes as part of three
        different NIH-funded grants.  The anatomically labeled brain
        images will be made publicly available online as a free,
        downloadable resource.  I believe this would be a tremendous
        contribution, and want to make sure that it is done in the best
        interests of the neuroscientific community.  In order to ensure
        that these anatomical labels are meaningful and useful, I urge
        you to take the following two surveys. 
        
        - SURVEY 1 collects your comments regarding the parcellation
        protocol itself.
        - SURVEY 2 takes recommendations for additional datasets you
        wish to have us manually label. 
        
        Both surveys are accessible online:

        We anticipate that the care that will be taken to manually label
        and conduct quality assurance, as well as the sheer scale of the
        data to be manually labeled, will result in one of the most
        useful protocols and datasets in neuroscience.  Please
        participate and please alert other interested parties!
        
        Cheers,
        @rno
