“Our research shows that if a part of the brain does not grow properly, or if the global geometry is disrupted, we may not have the major folds in the right place, which may cause dysfunction in the brain.”<p>Causes dysfunction, or has common cause with dysfunction?<p>Super cool research.

I think it&#x27;s nice that science never makes the claim that how it actually happens, only that it might have happened this way, on <i>a priori</i> ground.<p>Maybe we never really know (the truth as is), but if we can mimic (the truth as if), it&#x27;s already intriguing and fascinating.
