Synopsis

We show that spatial registration by simultaneously considering both tissue contrast and cortical geometry produces brain atlases that are more reflective of individuals than registration by considering only one of the two factors alone. Registration with tissue contrast alone produces atlases with blurred cortical structures. Registration with cortical geometry alone produces surface atlases that are artificially sharp but do not reflect surface attributes of individuals.
