A curiosity-driven journey toward understanding brain folding

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are a visual icon for intelligence itself. Peeling back the layers of this fundamental biological process has been a long-sought goal of physicists and mathematicians in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
