Subtopics
- Gyrus [r]: A convex fold on the surface of the cerebral cortex in mammals. [e]
- Sulcus [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Sulcus (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- Sulcal root [r]: Generic name for a set of locations on an embryo's cortical surface that organize the folding process and will develop into parts of a sulcus. [e]
- Lissencephaly [r]: Condition in which the cortical surface is smooth, as opposed to gyrified. Normal in many mammals and transient in human fetal development but a disorder in humans born with it. [e]
- Pachygyria [r]: A congenital malformation of the cerebral hemisphere that results in unusually thick convolutions of the cerebral cortex. [e]
- Microgyria [r]: A neurodevelopmental disorder in which the gyri on the surface of the brain are smaller but more numerous than normal. [e]
- Agyria [r]: The lack of convolutions of the cerebral cortex. [e]
- Cortical thickness [r]: The combined thickness of the cerebral cortex layers. [e]
- Developmental biomechanics [r]: The study of the physical forces and energies involved in the patterning of a developing organism. [e]
- Neuronal migration [r]: The process by which nerve cells travel from the place of their last cell division to their final position in the brain. [e]
- Allometry [r]: The study of scaling effects in biology. [e]
