How the cortex gets its folds: an inside-out, connectivity-driven model for the scaling of mammalian cortical folding
Larger mammalian cerebral cortices tend to have increasingly folded surfaces, often considered to result from the lateral expansion of the grey matter (GM), which, in a volume constrained by the cranium, causes mechanical compression that is relieved by inward folding of the white matter (WM), or to...
