LOGAN, Utah, Aug. 24 (TNSGra) -- Utah State University issued the following news:
Our growing bodies are under constant physical constraint. A developing human brain, for example, grows much faster than the skull around it. The result is an organ that quickly outgrows its space, forcing itself into folds and wrinkles as it expands into the cranium. Cerebral folding is an important area of research for scientists and bioengineers who study the brain; and yet, little is known about th . . .
