Thanks for the reply! 

I was under the impression that inflating, flattening and registration didn't 
change the number of verteces in the mesh. That way, one can easily go from a 
point in the flat mesh to the corresponding point in the original space. (ie, 
if a vertex on the flatmap is vertex number 12,329, than one need only get the 
coordinates of the 12,329th vertex of the corresponding cortical mesh.) 

I couldn't find a tutorial that shows how to do the surface-based registration 
to an atlas such that it changes the number of vertices (for example to '74k').
