The folds of the brain cortex increase the surface area. Because the processing of the brain is done in the cortex, having an increased surface area allows for more processing power.

Stegosaurus had a brain that weighed about 2.8 oz, the same as a dog's brain. That is very small considering that the Stegosaurus was 30 feet long and weighed 5.5 tons. People often say that its brain was the size of a walnut or a pea, but that exaggerates its small size.
Having a "wrinkled" brain, which means having lots of folds and creases on the brain's surface, is good because it increases surface area for more neurons and connections. This can enhance brain functioning and cognitive abilities, enabling faster thinking and better problem-solving skills.
