美国耶鲁大学和土耳其几家科研机构的科学家携手对一名大脑缺乏明显褶皱的土耳其病人进行研究后,找到了与人脑发育有关的独特基因--层粘连蛋白γ3(LAMC3),这种基因会决定人大脑皮质的特征。新研究有助于理解大脑内的褶皱如何形成,早日研制出“人造大脑”。耶鲁大学医学院的教授穆拉特·居内尔在《自然-遗传学》杂志上表示,揭示出这种基因在人脑发育过程中的基本作用能让我们更好地理解大脑皮质。大脑皮质是大脑内的褶皱,其掌控了人类的感情、本能与短期记忆等。大脑内的褶皱仅出现于海豚、猿猴等脑部较大的动物身上,在人身上表
When scientists from Yale University in the United States and research institutions in Turkey worked together on a Turkish patient lacking significant folds in their brains, they found a unique gene involved in human brain development, laminin γ3 (LAMC3) Determine the characteristics of the human cerebral cortex. The new study helps to understand how folds form in the brain and to develop “artificial brains” as early as possible. Murat Gurner, a professor at the Yale School of Medicine, said in a paper in Nature - Genetics that revealing the fundamental role of this gene in human brain development allows us to better understand the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the folds in the brain, which control the human feelings, instincts and short-term memory. Wrinkles in the brain only appear in dolphins, apes and other large brain animals, in the body
