Dear VBM-experts,
we plan to analyze structural MRI data of a longitudinal study with children (time point 1: 5 years old, time point 2: 6 years old). As there have not yet been published a lot of studies, we wonder whether anyone has experience with analyzing longitudinal data of children of this age range?
Our specific question concerns the preprocessing with a sample-specific template: Would you create a sample-specific template based on all scans at time point 1 and 2 or for each time point separately?
I would be very interested in any insights from you.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers,
Julia
