About the project

The human brain is folded in a unique way, much like a fingerprint. These folding patterns vary substantially across individuals and are often altered in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Yet one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience remains unanswered: why does the brain fold at all?

In this NWO-funded project, we will investigate whether individual brain folding patterns reflect computational principles that optimize neural communication and brain organization. We hypothesize that cortical folding minimizes the wiring required between functionally connected neural populations, cr...
