Mapping the relation between cortical convolution and structural/functional brain architectures could provide deep insights into the mechanisms of brain development, evolution and diseases. In our previous studies, we found a unique gyral folding pattern, termed a 3-hinge, which was defined as the conjunction of three gyral crests. The uniqueness of the 3-hinge was evidenced by its thicker cortex and stronger fiber connections...

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and main cause of disability worldwide, but with few effective therapies. Although stem cell-based therapy has been proposed as an exciting regenerative medicine strategy for brain injury, there are limitations. The developed cerebral organoids (COs) represent a promising transplantation source for stroke that remains to be answered. Here, we transplanted COs at 55 days and explored...

The q11.2 region on chromosome 22 contains numerous low-copy repeats that lead to deleted or duplicated regions in the chromosome, thereby resulting in different syndromes characterized by intellectual disabilities or congenital anomalies. The association between patient phenotypes and 22q11.2 copy number abnormalities has been previously described in postnatal cases; however, these features have not been systematically evalua...

To analyze the clinical characteristics and PRRT2 gene mutation of self-limited familial infantile epilepsy and evaluate the treatment responses of different antiepileptic drugs in self-limited familial infantile epilepsy. We reviewed the clinical feature and genetic mutation results and treatment responses of two sibling sisters. They were detected with the PRRT2 gene mutation through Sanger sequencing. Elder sister was treat...
