My Sample:
In such patients a thicker cerebral cortex and reduced growth in all layers of the cortex can be observed. In contrast, microgyria is characterized by an increase in number and decrease in size of folds. In accordance with the simulation results, in microgyric brains a reduction of gray matter thickness and faster growth in the cortical layer can be detected. On top of that the disease schizophrenia is associated with certain regions of the brain with higher degree of gyrification. In these regions also reduction of cortical gray matter thickness is found. This relation is once more consistent with the simulated folding mechanisms.
