Atlases Are Already Inside: Recovering Population Templates from Pretrained Diffusion Models

This paper demonstrates that pretrained diffusion models implicitly encode population-level anatomical atlases within their learned dynamics, enabling the direct recovery of sharp, age-conditioned, and registration-competitive brain templates through deterministic inference without requiring explicit registration or atlas-specific training objectives.
