ScienceScientists uncover ancient gene’s role in brain folding

Chinese researchers found that the ancient gene CCNB1IP1 rises in expression across the species studied, tracking the degree of cortical folding. Mice with the gene inserted developed cortical folds and showed improved learning and memory in tests. The findings were published in Nature Genetics.
