The major contribution of the current study is to provide the first detailed findings and interpretations on abnormal cortical network topology in malformations of cortical development, in particular polymicrogyria, related to extent of abnormal gyral folding. We propose a novel structural connectivity network analysis based on an individuals primary gyral pattern and topology, which is biologically more meaningful and able to better capture and describe individual brain network.
