Using neuroimaging and mathematical graph theory, researchers discover it is possible to detect those at risk of developing psychosis by examining cortical folding.
Findings provide new insights into the evolution of smooth and folded mammalian brains.
We all know that as we age, our skin loses its firmness and elasticity. However, researchers have now discovered our brains may also lose its elasticity as we age.
Researchers have detected a cerebral marker specific to autism in a less deep fold of the Broca's area. The marker can be identified by MRI scans in children from the age of two.
New findings could pave the way for future research into brain evolution.
