The brain is covered in ridges (gyri) ans grooves (sulci).
What is the term for making grooves or small folds in dough?
Possibly to "flute", or to "laminate".
Our brain is like a peeled walnut. There are bulging folds and between folds are the grooves. These grooves are called suci. Mild prominenece of these suci are called mild sulcal prominence. Often such prominenece are noticed with age and these are attributed to normal aging. However, defects in the cerebellum may also called prominenece of the cerebral sulci.
The answer is quite simple. The fine folds of the brain are called "folia".
Surface area.
They are called sulci (plural of sulcus).
The inward folds of cerebral tissue are called fissures or sulci. The sulci is surrounded by other depressions or grooves known as gyri.
