Based on modeling gyrification as a reaction-diffusion process, the authors provide a mechanism — compatible with the sulcal roots hypothesis — by which the folding process of the cerebral cortex can be explained, along with its anatomical variability and common malformations like polymicrogyria and lissencephaly.

Provides an analysis of correlations between 10 volume-based brain morphometric measures and 32 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 25 schizophrenic patients, tentatively identifying RELN, the gene encoding reelin, as possibly involved in ventricular enlargement, and PCDH12, the gene encoding protocadherin 12, as a candidate for genetic invovlvement in gyrification.
