Gyrification in relation to cortical thickness in the congenitally blind
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]
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?

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

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