TL;DR: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCD) are localized regions of malformed cerebral cortex and are very frequently associated with epilepsy in both children and adults.

TL;DR: Anatomic analysis of 23 cases of vein of Galen aneurysm and correlation with known embryologic data indicate that the venous sac most probably represents persistance of the embryonic median prosencephalic vein of Markowski, not the vein ofGalen, per se.

TL;DR: Good knowledge of the modern embryological data may allow for a good understanding of a specific pattern in a given individual patient, paving the way for better clinical correlation and genetic counseling.

TL;DR: To illustrate normal maturation of the fetal brain, including the migrational layer, gray matter, early myelination of internal capsules, optic radiations, and corona radiata, MR is examined with MR in vivo to allow depiction of signal changes corresponding either to an increase in cellularity or to the evolving processes ofMyelination, depending on the stage of the pregnancy.

TL;DR: It is shown that mechanical stretch plays a crucial role in brain development, and the model predicts that deviations in cortical growth and thickness induce morphological abnormalities that agree with the classical pathologies of lissencephaly and polymicrogyria.
