This study identifies genetic maps of human sulcal complexity using rare and common variants, revealing new mechanistic pathways for cortical morphogenesis.

The paper constructs a sulcal phenotype network from MRI scans to identify two clusters of sulci related to developmental timing and gene expression gradients.

The paper introduces a pipeline to automate manual mapping of cortical folds to human-interpretable shapes, demonstrating it on detecting discontinuities in the orbitofrontal cortex with high accuracy.
