The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, characterized by its distinctive gyri and sulci (those distinctive ridges and furrows), controls cognitive and executive function, from conscious ...

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 ...

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 ...

"Routine cognitive assessments should be integrated into clinical practice, allowing for early detection and intervention." — Dejan Jakimovski, MD, PhD, Research Assistant Professor, Department of ...

In appearance, the human brain's outermost layer, called the cortex, is a maze of tissue folds. The peaks or raised surfaces of these folds, called gyri, play an important role in the proper ...

Using the Layer-wise Relevance Propagation algorithm and various structural MRI modalities (T1-weighted, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR], and susceptibility-weighted magnitude images [SWI] ...

More cases of children born with abnormal brain development may have genetic explanations than previously thought, according to a recent study published in JAMA Neurology. The outer layer of the human ...
