Biomaterial-engineering and neurobiological approaches for regenerating the injured cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher functions of the central nervous system (CNS), such as movement, sensation, and cognition. When the cerebral cortex is severely injured, these functions are irreversibly impaired. Although recent neurobiological studies reveal that the cortex has the pot...
