Abstract A salient neuroanatomical feature of the human brain is its pronounced cortical folding, and there mounting evidence that sulcal morphology relevant to functional architecture cognition. However, our understanding relationships between anatomy, activity, behavior still in infancy. We previously found depth three small, shallow sulci lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) was linked reasoning performance childhood adolescence (Voorhies et al., 2021). These findings beg question: what linking mechanism cognition? To shed light on this question, we investigated connectivity among LPFC parietal (LPC). leveraged manual parcellations (21 sulci/hemisphere, total 1806) magnetic resonance (fMRI) data from a task 43 participants aged 7–18 years (20 female). conducted clustering classification analyses individual- level sulci. Broadly, 1) patterns individual could be differentiated – more accurately than rotated labels equated for size shape; 2) did not consistently correspond with probabilistic or large-scale networks; 3) clustered together into groups similar patterns, dictated by spatial proximity; 4) across individuals, greater associated higher network centrality several under investigation. results highlight can meaningfully anchored demonstrate vary as function depth. Significance Statement salient, behaviorally relevant, folding. links anatomy are poorly understood particularly shallow, individually variable association cortices. Here, focusing defined regions, offer novel, anatomically informed approach defining connectomes. Further, demonstrate, first time, link morphology.
