Our brains contain billions of neurons and trillions of connections, and scientists are only beginning to understand the ...

"Our results suggest a universal blueprint for mammalian brain shape, and a common set of mechanisms governing cortical folding," concludes Mota. "We hope that our framework for expressing and ...

The team's findings, published in Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that genes provide a foundational blueprint for brain structure, guiding the development of neural networks through spatial ...

Does it follow a detailed genetic blueprint, or can these structures ... in cellular properties along one dimension in the brain, combined with local neural interactions, could explain the entire ...
