The Function of Gyri (pl.Gyrus) One of the prominent rounded elevation that form the cerebral hemispheres, each consisting of an exposed superficial portion and a portion hidden from view in the wall and floor of the sulcus.
the purpose is to create larger surface area..
refer to medical dictionary/encyclopedia for a certain answwer.
They allow the brain to fit into the skull.
They are the hills of convulsions in the cerebrum to increase surface area and fold.
To add surface area to the brain.
Brain fissures are convolutions in the structure of the brain that form valleys between folds. The valleys are called fissures or sulci (plural of sulcus), and lie between the raised folds called gyri (singular gyrus).Many brain features are identified with fissures, including Broca's fissure, the Fissure of Sylvius, the central (Rolando's) fissure, and the hippocampal fissure.
The convolutions increase the surface are of the cerebrum.
a sulcus is a depression or a groove found on the surface of an organ or tissue,as on the surface of the brain separating adjacent convultion. While a gyrus is one of the prominent rounded elevations between the sulci or grooves on the surface of the hemispheres of the brain.
Fissures.

It is darker on the outside due to the presence of fissures. The darker the color, the deeper the fissure. The deeper the fissure, the more surface area there is, and the more convoulted the brain is.
The inward folds of cerebral tissue are called sulci. These are narrow fissures that separate adjacent convolutions of the brain.
polygyria - a brain with an excessive amount of convolutions
The convolutions in the cerebrum increase surface area
the less healthy the brain
The convolutions increase the surface are of the cerebrum.

They provide more surface arean for nerves and such.
A Brain Convultion is a another name for Seizures of epilepsy. A brain Convulsion usually happens when a peron who caught epilepsy always swim withno guard ,oftens watching tv, aand climbing mountains. * * * * * The above answer refers to convulsions, not convolutions! Brain convolutions are the wrinkles on its surface.
convolutions: a form or part that is folded or coiled; one of the convex folds of the surface of the brain.Sulci: a shallow groove, such as that between gyri on the brain surface.
