Several types of brain lesions are seen in individuals with TSC [tuberous sclerosis complex], including cortical tubers ... The cortical tuber ... can be thought of as a “birth defect” in the brain. Cortical tubers are areas in the cortex (the outer layer of the brain) that do not develop normally because either the nerve cells that normally migrate from deeper regions of the brain are abnormal or because they do not arrive at all. It is believed that the normal wiring of the brain is disrupted by tubers possibly leading to seizure disorders or cognitive impairment. 2, record 8, English, - cortical%20tuber
