Folding of the cerebral cortex is as highly intriguing as poorly understood. At first sight, this may appear as simple tissue crumpling inside an excessively small cranium, but the process is clearly much more complex and developmentally predetermined. Whereas theoretical modeling supports a critical role for biomechanics, experimental evidence demonstrates the fundamental role of specific progenitor cell types, cellular processes, and genetic programs on cortical folding.

大脑皮层的折叠既令人着迷,又知之甚少。乍一看,这似乎只是脑组织在过于狭小的颅腔内的简单褶皱,但这个过程显然要复杂得多,而且在发育上是预先确定的。虽然理论模型支持生物力学的关键作用,但实验证据表明,特定祖细胞类型、细胞过程和遗传程序对皮层折叠起着根本作用。《力如何折叠大脑皮层》,作者克里斯托弗·D·克罗恩克和菲利普·V·贝利。
