Title: Brain Mapping and Modeling Cortical Fold Formation
in the Brain
Affiliation: Florida State University
Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2014
Place and Time: Room 200, Love Building, 3:35 pm
Abstract. The human brain is highly folded with significant
fold variation across individuals and species. My research focuses
on using Turing system models of pattern formation to investigate
the development of folding patterns in the brain. I will present
some of the PDE models my group has developed and discuss open
research problems, such as how our models can be enhanced and how
conformal mapping may be used to investigate individual folding
variabilty.
