A cortical shape-adaptive approach to local gyrification index. [PDF]
The amount of cortical folding, or gyrification, is typically measured within local cortical regions covered by an equidistant geodesic or nearest neighborhood-ring kernel. However, without careful design, such a kernel can easily cover multiple sulcal and gyral regions that may not be functionally related. Furthermore, this can result in smoothing out

Local gyrification index in probands with psychotic disorders and their first-degree relatives. [PDF]
Psychotic disorders are characterized by aberrant neural connectivity. Alterations in gyrification, the pattern and degree of cortical folding, may be related to the early development of connectivity. Past gyrification studies have relatively small sample sizes, yield mixed results for schizophrenia, and are scant for psychotic bipolar and ...

Altered Local Gyrification Index and Corresponding Functional Connectivity in Medication Free Major Depressive Disorder [PDF]
A lot of previous studies have documented that major depressive disorder (MDD) is a developmental disorder. The cortical surface measure, local gyrification index (LGI), can well reflect the fetal and early postnatal neurodevelopmental processes.

Analysis of local gyrification index using a novel shape-adaptive kernel and the standard FreeSurfer spherical kernel – evidence from chronic schizophrenia outpatients [PDF]
Schizophrenia can be considered a brain disconnectivity condition related to aberrant neurodevelopment that causes alterations in the brain structure, including gyrification of the cortex.

A Longitudinal Study of Local Gyrification Index in Young Boys With Autism Spectrum Disorder. [PDF]
Local gyrification index (LGI), a metric quantifying cortical folding, was evaluated in 105 boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 49 typically developing (TD) boys at 3 and 5 years-of-age. At 3 years-of-age, boys with ASD had reduced gyrification in the fusiform gyrus compared with TD boys.

Local gyrification index and sulcal depth as imaging markers of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
PurposeTo investigate the correlation between cortical thickness (CT), sulcal depth (SD), local gyrification index (LGI), and cognitive scores in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD).MethodsA total of 200 patients with AD from 2014 to 2021 were ...

Altered local gyrification index and corresponding functional connectivity in female depressed adolescents with suicide attempts and non-suicidal self-injury. [PDF]
Abstract Background Suicide attempts (SA) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) are serious public health problems that frequently co-occur in adolescents females with major depressive disorder (MDD), yet their neurobiological distinctions remain unclear.

Local gyrification index in patients with major depressive disorder and its association with tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH2) polymorphism. [PDF]
AbstractThe tryptophan hydroxylase‐2 (TPH2) gene is considered a promising genetic candidate regarding its association with a predisposition to major depressive disorder (MDD). Local gyrification reflects the early neural development of cortical connectivity, and is regarded as a potential neural endophenotype in psychiatric disorders.

Prefrontal-centered cortical alterations and network dysconnectivity in cocaine use disorder [PDF]
BackgroundCocaine use disorder (CUD) is a chronic, relapsing condition with substantial clinical burden, yet its neurobiological basis remains incompletely understood, particularly in the socially vulnerable populations most affected in real-world ...
