For each scan, volume was estimated for the whole thalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus, and their subregions using Bayesian methods to automatically segment T1w images using template atlases based on histological data and ultra-high-resolution ex vivo MRI [37–40]. These segmentations are well-validated and have been applied by multiple consortia to large scale neuroimaging analyses [41–45]. See Supplementary Fig. S2 for visualization of the FreeSurfer segmentation and Supplementary Methods for a list of all regions analyzed as well as details on segmentation, qualitative and statistical quality control (QC) procedures, and between-scanner harmonization using longitudinal ComBat [46].
