They're covered with lots of nanostructures at multiple levels for various purposes: repelling water, aiding in adhesion.
Example:
The hair-like 'setae' cover the 'lamellae', which end in knob-like 'spatulae', which lets the gecko cling to surfaces with Van der Waal's forces.

Protocol to predict time perception bias from cortical neurite microstructures in healthy older adults
Understanding cortical microstructure related to timing is key to studying aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we present a protocol for identifying brain regions involved in time perception using microstructural measures from multi-shell diffusion MRI (dMRI). We outline steps for processing data, applying NODDI (neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging) modeling to extract cortical neurite parameters, and quantifying neurite microstructure patterns. Finally, we detail procedur...
