A single mathematical model can explain the pattern of folds seen on the brains of a range of primates, from bush babies to macaques to humans.<\/p>\n

Bruno Mota<\/a> at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and his colleagues have spent years trying to find out whether there is a mathematical description for the crumpled, fractal shape<\/a> of the cerebral cortex, which is the outer layer of a brain region called the cerebrum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question seems\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
