The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

The folding of the brain, which generates tensile and compressive forces, can alter the stiffness of the white matter, ...

Researchers have compared the structure of the cerebellum and cerebrum in the brains of 56 mammals, providing insights into the evolution and mechanisms of brain folding. Scientists from the have ...

This work shows that epigenetic marks are a key mechanism in the instructions that genes receive to express themselves and generate folds Borrell's team had already developed a protomap that ...

For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have ...
