Gyrification in relation to cortical thickness in the congenitally blind

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Greater cortical gyrification (GY) is linked with enhanced cognitive abilities and is also negatively related to cortical thickness (CT). Individuals who are congenitally blind (CB) exhibits remarkable functional brain plasticity which enables them to perform certain non-visual and cognitive tasks with supranormal abilities.

Gyrification from constrained cortical expansion [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance The convolutions of the human brain are a symbol of its functional complexity and correlated with its information-processing capacity. Conversely, loss of folds is correlated with loss of function. But how did the outer surface of the brain, the layered cortex of neuronal gray matter, get its folds?

A gyrification analysis approach based on Laplace Beltrami eigenfunction level sets

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
An accurate measure of the complexity of patterns of cortical folding or gyrification is necessary for understanding normal brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Alcohol use in young adults associated with cortical gyrification. [PDF]

open access: yesDrug Alcohol Depend, 2020
Young adulthood has the highest rates of alcohol use and high-risk drinking behavior. This period is also a critical neurodevelopmental stage, with neural insults having a profound neurotoxic effect on the brain. Cortical gyrification is thought, in part, to reflect early brain maturation (e.g., hypogyrification in fetal alcohol syndrome).

Sex differences in cortical volume and gyrification in autism [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Autism, 2015
Male predominance is a prominent feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with a reported male to female ratio of 4:1. Because of the overwhelming focus on males, little is known about the neuroanatomical basis of sex differences in ASD. Investigations of sex differences with adequate sample sizes are critical for improving our understanding of the ...

Association Between Urban Upbringing and Cortical Gyrification in Persons with Schizophrenia. [PDF]

open access: yesIndian J Psychol Med
Background: Many studies suggest that urban upbringing might increase the risk of developing schizophrenia (SCZ). However, the precise brain changes associated with urban upbringing remain poorly understood.

Obstetric complications, cortical gyrification, and cognition in first-episode psychosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychol Med
Abstract Background Obstetric complications (OCs) are associated with cognitive and brain abnormalities observed in patients with schizophrenia. Gyrification, a measure of cortical integrity sensitive to events occurring during the prenatal and perinatal periods, is also altered in first-episode psychosis (FEP).

Gyrification patterns in first-episode, drug-naïve major depression: Associations with plasma levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and psychiatric symptoms

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
Background and objectivesCortical structural changes in major depressive disorder (MDD) are usually studied using a voxel-based morphometry approach to delineate the cortical gray matter volume.

A Prospective Longitudinal Investigation of Cortical Thickness and Gyrification in Schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 2020
Background: Cortical thickness (CT) and gyrification are complementary indices that assess different aspects of gray matter structural integrity. Both neurodevelopment insults and acute tissue response to antipsychotic medication could underlie the known heterogeneity of treatment response and are well-suited ...
