Lauren I. Rugani

Researchers affiliated with MIT and Harvard University, both in Cambridge, Mass., have applied a variety of analytical methods to characterizing the development of morphological features on the cortical surface. The team was able to determine both where and how fast cortical folding occurs at different ages, as well as the order in which large-scale and finer folding patterns develop. The researchers began the multiple-stage analysis by taking high-resolution magnetic resonance scans of each of the 84 older, mentally healthy participants; of eight normal neonates; and of three children...Read full article
