Thalamic changes have been reported in several neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). As pathologies affect different cortical and subcortical brain regions disproportionally, accurate segmentation of thalamic nuclei can provide relevant insights about brain function and neurological disorders mechanisms. Here, we used a previously developed thalamus parcellation strategy that relies on tractography and population-specific to infer any connectivity changes in presence of FTD. The obtained results were compared against to the ones derived with the commonly used probabilistic tractography pipeline available in FSL.
