FreeSurfer Release Notes

These Release Notes cover what's new in a release, and known issues. See previous release notes for older versions.

Stable v6.0

Date: TBD

What's New

  • Brain networks (cognitive components) estimated from 10449 Experiments and 83 tasks in the Brainmap database are released in MNI152 and fsaverage space:
    • Wikipage: BrainmapOntology_Yeo2015

    • There are three sets of data (networks+auxiliary information) that are released: (1) Probability that a task would recruit a component (csv files), (2) Probability that a component would activate a voxel/vertex, (3) quantitative measures of functional specificity and flexibility (i.e., whether a voxel/vertex specializes for a specific cognitive component or supports multiple components).
    • The volumetric maps + csv files are found in average/Yeo_Brainmap_MNI152/. See Yeo_Brainmap_MNI152_README in directory for more details.
    • The surface maps are found in the subjects/fsaverage/label directory. See Yeo_Brainmap_fsaverage_README in directory for more details.
  • Substructure Segmentation:
  • Longitudinal:
    • New dedicated longitudinal pipeline for subfield segmentation - See LongitudinalHippocampalSubfields

    • New longitudinal pipeline for tractography
    • Fix for time point addition (see bug in 5.3)
  • Matlab Linear Mixed Effects Tools:
    • Updated Matlab LME tools to newer Matlab versions
    • Allow missing Parallel Toolbox (process sequentially)
    • minor improvements to F-test
  • recon-all now produces aseg.mgz (subcortical atlas) with Hi-Res data (<1mm). the -hires flag is still necessary to include with recon-all when hi-res data is input. changes to mri_normalize, mri_em_register and mri_watershed were made to support this feature.

  • Improved accuracy of ?h.cortex.label
  • Improved prevention of surfaces from crossing into the contralateral hemisphere
  • Adding the 'fs_update' script which allows users to update binaries or other elements of the freesurfer installation.
  • Adding the 'fs_tutorial_data' script which provides a means for downloading the data for completing the Tutorials.

  • bbregister now uses the FS mri_coreg program by to initialize BBR. FSL or SPM/matlab are no longer needed. mri_coreg is based on spm_coreg and gives very similar results as to when spmregister is run.
  • mri_fdr -- command line program to compute and apply the false discovery rate algorithm
