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.
With further research and validation, the approach could be used to grant insights into the development of various degenerative and congenital neuropathic conditions. These findings suggest that, regardless of species, there is only one way for a cerebral cortex to undergo folding. So why are they so clearly different when observed through an MRI scan? They appear different in size, and some are highly folded, like the human cortex, and some are much smoother, like the marmoset cortex.
