About the session: Malformations of cortical development comprise a heterogenous group of disorders underlined by the disrupted formation of the cortex. The underlying drivers for the development of MCD may be genetic, vascular, ischemic, and infectious etiologies. The outline of this lecture is to briefly review normal cortical development and anatomy, followed by a discussion of the genetic drivers of MCD.
By attending this session, you will be able to learn the following points:
- Normal cortical development.
- Normal cortical anatomy.
- Broad classification of malformations of cortical development.
- Genes and their imaging correlates.
