The convolutions increase the surface are of the cerebrum.
surface area
increased surface area of the cortex
* (medicine) A malformation of the brain characterized by its being too broad in form.* Unusually thick convolutions of the cerebral cortexAbove retrieved from Answers.comViper1
a human brain has a larger cerebrum a humans brain has more convolutions they both have the same parts(spinal cord,cerebrum,and cerebellum)
The "squiggly" appearance of the brain refers to the sulci and gyri the comprise the cerebral cortex. The sulci are the valleys, or sunken portions, and the gyri are the raised portions. The "squiggly" convolutions of the cerebrum (brain) allow for more surface area. Thus, the contours of the brain help increase the overall volume of the brain inside its limited space, the cranium.

convolutions or gyri
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.
They provide more surface arean for nerves and such.
polygyria - a brain with an excessive amount of convolutions
The convolutions in the cerebrum increase surface area
the less healthy the brain
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.
The folds on the surface of the brain are called gyri.
The convolutions of the cerebrum. The margins of which are separated by the lateral cerebral fissure.
The convolutions in the brain increase surface area. In simpler words, those lines and ridges in the brain are what increases the surface area.
The human brain is larger. The positioning of the hind brain is different, due to the erect position of humans. Convolutions are increased in humans (increases surface area). The sheep's brain has a smaller cerebellum (lesser motor control/less complex learned motor behaviors). There is a larger pineal gland in sheep (related to circadian rhythms/seasonal reproduction).
the convolutions on Ken's brain were damaged when his head went through the windshield of Malibu Barbie's car
The human brain , through evolution, has increased the number of foldings (gyri) in order to increase the actual surface available to support the neurons within it. Similar to the branching "tree" structure of the alveoli in the lungs, the number of neurons able to be contained and supported by the "white matter" is vastly increased by the presence of these convolutions.
