通过这个在线网站,研究者可以观看到一些复杂的分子结构图,其中活跃的基因导致了人脑表面褶皱的形成。
Through this web portal, researchers can enter an intricate molecular landscape in which the active genes dot each hill and valley of the human brain.
他们发现,大脑皮层以及大脑表面上的褶皱区域负责较高级的心理功能,并且以一种不规则的形式发育。
They found that the cerebral cortex, the wrinkled area on the surface of the brain responsible for higher mental functions, grows in an uneven fashion.
这种褶皱、蜿蜒的表面使得人脑,在有限的头骨空间里,具有更大的表面积——进而,具有更强的数据处理能力。
The folded, meandering surface allows the brain to pack in more surface area — and thus, more processing power — into the limited confines of the skull.
