Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher Víctor Borrell at the Institute of Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, and the laboratory led by researcher Vijay K. Tiwari at the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute of Experimental Medicine at Queen’s University Read More
