Understanding the origins of Malformations of the Cortical development
Ossola and Kalebic. Frontiers in Neuroscience 2022 The cerebral cortex – the outer brain layer – accounts approximately for half of the human and mammalian brain mass and controls language, memory, reasoning, and consciousness. Specialised cortex cells – the neural progenitors – are responsible for the specification, positioning and maturation of neurons in the cortex, […]
