Longitudinal macaque developmental DTI atlas from postnatal day 14 to 180 as visualized on a center axial slice. Top row: Reconstructed atlas image at each age pulled back to day 14. The high quality of the longitudinal modeling is visible through the close similarity of the pulled-back atlas images. Middle row: Estimated change in FA between time points displaying major change occurring in the first 60 days (overshadowing the magnitude of later changes). Bottom row: Jacobian determinant of the pull-back deformation field. Cyan = no change, dark blue = growth (most of white matter), yellow-red = shrinkage (here seen on the 3rd ventricle in the center of the image)
