What is it about?
The development of the brain cortex and how synapses (the space between neurons that transmits the electrical signal from one nerve cell to the other) play an essential role in this process.

Why is it important?
These mathematical models can help researchers avoid some diseases by predicting the nerve cells' reaction to certain stimuli.
Perspectives
These models should be widely used to understand what is happening in the human brain during development since it is harmless to humans and much cheaper. This way we can develop cures to prenatal brain diseases.
