Abstract: Highlights•A novel cortical developmental continuity (CDC) transfer framework for lifespan brain anatomical correspondence.•The CDC transfer harnesses inherent relationships across different age groups, facilitating the transfer of shared patterns throughout neurodevelopmental stages.•A novel loss function is designed to extract and preserve common patterns while capturing group-specific new patterns.•Offer a powerful tool for investigating brain development and aging.
