Scientists Create High-Resolution Map of Developing Cerebral Cortex

Scientists have successfully mapped the surface of the cerebral cortex of the young human brain in impressively high resolution. The mapping, done using high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, showed development in the key regions of the brain from two months before an individual’s birth to two months after it. Researchers believe that this achievement will likely aid future research on brain development and may serve as a new…
