Release Name: UNC-MNI_Pediatric_1year_Brain_Atlas

Notes:
We provide a symmetric, unbiased, 1-year-old T1-weigthed atlas template computed via joint deformable registration that simultaneously minimizes the differences of intensity and transformation from 104 training images from a 1-year-old dataset within the Autism IBIS study (controls and children at high familial risk of autism) (Fonov et al. 2011).
Not only is the T1-weighted image provided (with and without skull), but also tissue segmentation probability maps optimized for ABC (Atlas Based Classification software), a 26-lobe parcellation map, and a subcortical structures label map (including amygdala, caudate, hippocampus, pallidus, putamen).
Atlas orientation: RAI
