Hi Antonella
we have had good results with surface-based registration that is the heart of CVS down to below age 5. See:

Dear all:
Based on the DTI Basic Tutorial I understood that MRI data can be resampled & registered in CVS space (by running mri_cvs_register), but alternatively can be normalized in any other (for example, MNI or Talairach). Can you please let me know how this can be done in MNI152 space? Should I run mri_mni152_register? Is CVS a good template for younger subjects (children age 6-13)?
Many thanks, Antonella
