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]
