Washington [US]: The surface of the cortex of the young human brain has been mapped by scientists at the UNC School of Medicine with unprecedented resolution. It revealed the development of key functional regions from two months before birth to two years after.
The new cortical development mapping, reported online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, represents a valuable resource for further research on brain development and offers a powerful new approach to the study of brain-development conditions such as autism and schizophrenia.
