“…The use of our classification may also lead to the early detection of focal lesions in the brain. Since postnatal GSF is accelerated in children, the complicated gyral structure may sometimes mask focal lesions (Furusho et al, 1998). Prenatal detection of fetal anomalies may Figure 12-HASTE image (TE, 90 msec) of a fetal brain at 34 weeks and 4 days of gestation, which suggested abnormalities in the development of the gyrus and sulcus formation and corresponded to Stage 5 allow an earlier start of rehabilitation of the children, which might contribute to improvement in their quality of life.…”

Early cortical folding and the emergence of structural brain asymmetries have been previously analyzed by neuropathology as well as qualitative analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of fetuses and preterm neonates. In this study, we present a dedicated image analysis framework and its application for the detection of folding patterns during the critical period for the formation of many primary sulci (20-28 gestational weeks). Using structural information from in utero MRI, we perform morphometric analysis of cortical plate surface development and modeling of early folding in the normal fetal brain. First, we identify regions of the fetal brain surface that undergo significant folding changes during this developmental period and provide precise temporal staging of these changes for each region of interest. Then, we highlight the emergence of interhemispheric structural asymmetries that may be related to future functional specialization of cortical areas. Our findings complement previous descriptions of early sulcogenesis based on neuropathology and qualitative evaluation of 2D in utero MRI by accurate spatial and temporal mapping of the emergence of individual sulci as well as structural brain asymmetries. The study provides the missing starting point for their developmental trajectories and extends our understanding of normal cortical folding.
