The size and extent of folding of the mammalian cerebral cortex are important factors that
influence a species' cognitive abilities and sensorimotor skills. Studies in various animal …

Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders that result
from abnormal development of the cerebral cortex in utero. MCDs place a substantial …

Most plasma proteins, cell membrane proteins and other proteins are glycoproteins with

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy may be linked to fetal neurological
complications that include brain damage and microcephaly. How the viral infection relates to …

The meninges are membranous layers surrounding the central nervous system. In the head,
the meninges lie between the brain and the skull, and interact closely with both during …

Lissencephaly (“smooth brain,” LIS) is a malformation of cortical development associated

Malformations of cortical development encompass heterogeneous groups of structural brain
anomalies associated with complex neurodevelopmental disorders and diverse genetic and …

The folding of the mammalian cerebral cortex into sulci and gyri is thought to be favored by
the amplification of basal progenitor cells and their tangential migration. Here, we provide a …
