'Brain on a chip' reveals how the brain folds

Our brains are wrinkled like walnuts by the time we are born. Babies born without these wrinkles – called smooth brain syndrome – suffer from severe developmental deficiencies and their life expectancy is markedly reduced. Now researchers have developed a method for growing tiny ‘brains on chips’ from human cells that enabled them to track the physical and biological mechanisms underlying the wrinkling process.
