Why is the cerebrum so highly folded?
The folds, or sulci, of the cerebrum allows the cerebral cortex to have more surface area and therefore more brain cells, or neurons, that make up the brains mass. Cognitive function seems to be related to the surface area of the cerebrum. Convolutions increase the surface area. Animals with less convoluted cerebra have lower intelligence than those with more. As an example, 'possum brains are nearly smooth.
The brain that plays a part in sleep?
Sleeping and waking depend on activities in the brain stem. Several areas of the brain seem to be involved in dreams and REM sleep, including the hippocamus and cortex. See attached links.

What happens with the brain stem when there is no brain function?
If a person has no brain activity in their brain, then that person may be considered brain dead. Brain dead is a legal indicator of death in some states. without brain activity, a person most likely will be unable to keep their body functioning without some form of life support, their major organs would start to fail.
There has been cases of a babies born with just a brain stem. They need to take medications to survive, such as seizure meds. Nicolas Coke I believe lived to be 2 years old but I am unsure if he is still alive.

What will cause traumatic brain injury?
concussion
firearms
Traumatic Brain Injury (also know as TBI) occurs when a person experiences blunt force trauma to the head. This could occur secondary to an accident (i.e. motor vehicle accident) or a fall. This could also occur from a strike to the head, either intentionally or unintentionally (i.e. altercation, or sports related head injury). The TBI occurs when the brain is jostled within the "shell" of the cranium, or bone that houses the brain. This jostling can injure the brain, perhaps causing bleeding or swelling. The injury can range from minor to extremely serious, even causing death. Patients that experience even a minor TBI can have lifelong affects, depending on the areas of the brain impacted and the overall seriousness of the injury.
What happens when your brain is split?

Does one part of the brain completely take over when another part is damaged?
The brain is plastic but usually not in the way that is described in the question. A damaged part of the brain remains damaged and healthy parts of the brain usually cannot completely take on the duties of the damaged part since it has its own duties to take care of. However when a body part is damaged (e.g. a person's eyes are blinded by external means), the part of the brain that is usually responsible for processing information from that body part can be repurposed to perform another, though still similar, action (e.g. the vision cortex of the blinded person will be repurposed to process hearing information).
