New images of the

Scientists are extremely surprised to see a completely "flat" and "smooth" human brain, without any grooves and folds.

The wrinkles and grooves are the most typical feature to point out is the brain through images and descriptions. However, scientists have recently published an image of a surprisingly "flat" adult brain - the brain has no characteristic veins and folds.

This particular brain is that of a patient treated at a mental hospital in the state of North Texas (USA), however, he died at the hospital in 1970. Due to the patient's medical records being lost, the The scientist has yet to imagine his daily life.

According to New Scientist's report, the brain has been placed in a container of solution and labeled with some references. Scientists conducted an MRI scan to better understand the structure of the brain, thereby documenting the "extraordinary" brain.

A brain usually has many Gyri folds and characteristic grooves

A common brain has folds, folds in the brain called Gyri and a cracked path called a groove . During the development of the fetus, nerve cells move to each region of the brain, creating grooves and Gyri folds. When the fetus reaches 40 weeks of age, it is also time for these wrinkles to complete. The condition of the brain without folds is quite rare and is scientifically named Lissencephaly .

People with this disease often die before 10 years of age because they suffer from many muscle cramps, painful convulsions, carry deformities in fingers, legs, on the face . Besides, patients will have slow symptoms mental development, causing difficulties in learning and living.

David Dexter, who runs the brain bank at Imperial College London, said: " I've never seen a brain that is so flat. At least, the brain has some odd grooves, not quite as smooth as like this". He predicts that patients with flat brains that live to adulthood will face many difficulties in living.
