Researchers have developed a new method to describe the cerebral cortex, revealing a universal fractal pattern across mammalian species that could enhance our understanding of brain development and disease.
New research reveals that the cerebral cortex follows the same folding patterns across mammalian species, adhering to a universal fractal shape.
Researchers have developed a novel method for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, providing evidence that cortices across mammalian DOI: 10.7554/eLife.92080.3
