Molecular and Cellular Underpinnings of Spatial Heterogeneity in Fetal Cortical Folding

2026-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Cortical folding is a defining feature of human brain development, yet the molecular and cellular mechanisms that produce regionally specific cortical folding remain incompletely understood. Here we combined high-resolution in-utero T2-weighted and diffusion MRI atlases (23-38 weeks of gestational age) with prenatal transcriptomic profiles to map regional macrostructural and microstructural features of cortical f...
