Quantifying the timing of gyral and sulcal formation relative to growth in the ferret cerebral cortex
These comparisons lay out a sequence of growth and folding events. First, relative thickening of the cortex occurs in regions that will be gyral and sulcal at maturity. These regions undergo increases in curvature, facilitating surface area increases in the folded cortex. During the final phases of fold formation, the rate of thickness increase in gyri outpaces that in sulci.
