Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

Brain imaging methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to characterize structural differences in the brains of children with attention-deficit ...

Comparison between human brain surface MRI reconstructions and ferret brain simulations for the cortical malformation polymicrogyria. A simple set of physical rules, including the relative thickness ...
