Diffeomorphic Cortical Alignment via Direct Warping of Streamline Endpoints

ArXi:2605.16742v1 Announce Type: new Cortical surface registration is often driven by local geometric descriptors (e.g., sulcal depth and curvature). While this approach achieves geometric correspondence, it neglects the long-range wiring constraints imposed by white-matter anatomy. Diffusion MRI tractography offers these crucial constraints; however, prior connectivity-informed pipelines typically align precomputed connectivity matrices, making the optimization highly sensitive to connectivity estimation and its resolution. In this paper, we.
