In this study, we present a systematic approach to derive effective MR biomarkers of cerebral cortical thickness using machine learning methods and a large-scale database. Three neuroanatomical parcellation schemes for assessing region cortical thickness were compared. The results supported using the Desikan–Killiany atlas¹ of FreeSurfer produced robust results of age and gender predictions in normal subjects.
