On the template
Desikan-Killiany. Values describe the fsaverage template, not an individual or a population norm.
| Side | Label (as in source) | Area, cm² | Centroid MNI152, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| left | transversetemporal | 5.3 | -45, -21, 10 |
| right | transversetemporal | 3.8 | 46, -18, 9 |
Area: pial surface of the fsaverage average, which is smoother than individual cortex. Volume: voxel count of the fsaverage aseg segmentation at 1 mm isotropic.
