In the brain sciences, '' 'gyrification' '' (or '' cortical folding '', '' cortical convolution '', '' fissuration '' or '' fissurization '') refers to both the process and the extent of folding of the [[cerebral cortex]] in [[mammal]] s as a consequence of brain growth during

In schizophrenics, for instance, gyrification has been found to increase in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex brain morphometry, folding of a brain can be described in both local and global terms, once a suitable representation of a brain surface has been obtained from surface extraction technique.
