Brain tissue is not only one of the most important but also the most complex and compliant
tissue in the human body. While long underestimated, increasing evidence confirms that …

Architectured materials exhibit unconventional properties directly linked to their geometry.
When composed of slender elements, architectured materials can undergo large …

Convolutions are a classical hallmark of most mammalian brains. Brain surface morphology
is often associated with intelligence and closely correlated with neurological dysfunction …

Objectives The profiles of cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and
how far they resemble each other, have only been studied to a limited extent. The aim of this …

Humans are known to have significant and consistent differences in thickness throughout
the cortex, with thick outer gyral folds and thin inner sulcal folds. Our previous work has …

Wrinkling instabilities appear in soft materials when a flat elastic layer on an elastic substrate
is sufficiently stressed that it buckles with a wavy pattern to minimize the energy of the …

The cerebral cortex of the human brain has a complex morphological structure consisting of
folded or smooth cortical surfaces. These morphological features are referred to as cortical …

Cortical thickness varies throughout the cortex in a systematic way. However, it is
challenging to investigate the patterns of cortical thickness due to the intricate geometry of …

The human brain development experiences a complex evolving cortical folding from a
smooth surface to a convoluted ensemble of folds. Computational modeling of brain …

The process of gyrification, by which the brain develops the intricate pattern of gyral hills and
sulcal valleys, is the result of interactions between biological and mechanical processes …
