Dear Doug, I am sorry i got confused between the thickness files lh.thickness and aparc.stats file i thought thickness measures from aparc.stats file is used to look for differences in thickness. I tried mriglm command line version and it worked so thanks, I am sorry for the confusion. Thanks again, venkat
