Model Brains-on-a-Chip Reveal the Physics of Brain Folding

From Gizmodo.com… …Basically, by confining the growth to two dimensions, researchers were able to watch a developing set of stem cells turn into brain cells and fold. Why are the organoids folding? It appears that as the neurons develop, their cellular nuclei migrate to the outer end. As this occurs, the whole structure appears to buckle […]
