The Physical Origins of Brain Cortical Morphology - Class 2

Explore the second lecture in a series on brain cortical morphology delivered by Bruno Mota from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as part of the ICTP-SAIFR School on the Origins of Life, Behavior and Cognition. Delve into the physical principles that shape the structure and development of the brain's cortex in this 1 hour and 23 minute presentation. This class continues the exploration of how physical forces and constraints influence the complex folding patterns and morphological features of the cerebral cortex. The lecture is part of a comprehensive program scheduled for March 10-21, 2025, bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives on the fundamental origins of biological complexity and cognition.
