Description	How do mammalian brains acquire their folded shape? How do mammalian "little brains", otherwise known as cerebella, acquire their shape? Are the shaping-inducing mechanisms, which potentially include buckling, anchoring, and/or differential growth, similar between the two cases, or not? And how does mammalian lung acquire its branched structure? Is it via actomyosin contractility or differential growth? I will begin to address such questions from a modeling point of view with accompanying predictions.
