In polymicrogyria, the cortex of the brain has many irregular, small folds (gyria) and disorganization of its layers, caused by mutations in one of several…
The amyloid beta protein that tangles to form the hallmark Alzheimer’s brain plaques, cling to ultra-small “bowls,” called nanobowls, scientists find. They can use these…
