“While sulci can change over development, getting deeper or shallower and developing thinner or thicker gray matter — probably in ways that depend on experience — our particular configuration of sulci ...

Researchers found that the particular pattern of the ridges and crevices of the brain's convoluted surface, which are called gyri and sulci, depends on two simple geometric parameters: the gray ...

Tertiary sulci, which appeared late in evolution, may thus serve as anatomical markers of our skills. Scientists used functional MRI to map brain activity during logic tasks.

Cryptic cortices The human brain cortex—its outer layer—is an intricately furrowed landscape with ridges called gyri and valleys called sulci. There is a clear advantage to such cortical folding.

Sulci that shape our brain connections Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley analyzed the brains of 43 children and adolescents. Their work, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, ...

On the northwestern rim of Lycus Sulci, it can be observed that two of the landslide events overlap. While an older event deposited dust-covered hills with heights of a few hundred metres in the ...
