The dynamic nature of growth and degenerative disease processes requires the design of
sensitive strategies to detect, track and quantify structural change in the brain in its full …

Understanding the amazingly complex human cerebral cortex requires a map (or
parcellation) of its major subdivisions, known as cortical areas. Making an accurate areal …

The human brain is subdivided into distinct anatomical structures, including the neocortex,
which in turn encompasses dozens of distinct specialized cortical areas. Early …

Abstract Comparison of mammalian brain parts has often focused on differences in absolute
size,,, revealing only a general tendency for all parts to grow together. Attempts to find size …

The rapid growth of the human cortex during development is accompanied by the folding of
the brain into a highly convoluted structure,,. Recent studies have focused on the genetic …

The anatomy of the brain necessarily constrains its function, but precisely how remains
unclear. The classical and dominant paradigm in neuroscience is that neuronal dynamics …

An animal's nervous system changes as its body grows from birth to adulthood and its
behaviours mature,,,,,,–. The form and extent of circuit remodelling across the connectome is …

During the third trimester of human brain development, the cerebral cortex undergoes
dramatic surface expansion and folding. Physical models suggest that relatively rapid …

Understanding human organ formation is a scientific challenge with far-reaching medical
implications,. Three-dimensional stem-cell cultures have provided insights into human cell …

Neurons in the cerebral cortex are organized into anatomical columns, with ensembles of
cells arranged from the surface to the white matter. Within a column, neurons often share …
