Digital Anatomy Atlas and Its Registration to MRI, fMRI, PET: The Past Presents a Future

The purpose of this paper is to review the past and present work in Digital Anatomy of the Human Brain and the registration methods developed for its use, then to extrapolate where the new open problems are, as well as the opportunities in this field. Of course, it will be a very personal review with the focus of my work and of my collaborators with reference to the many others who built upon this early effort.
