Discover why the brain has wrinkles, making it look like a maze, explained in a fun and simple way for 7-year-old kids.
Hi there! You noticed that the brain looks wrinkly, almost like a maze, and that's a very smart observation. Let's find out why!
The brain has lots of folds and wrinkles because it needs to fit many important parts in a small space. Imagine if you had a big piece of paper and you wanted to put it in your backpack. If you fold it up, it fits better, right? The brain is the same way!
These wrinkles help the brain have more surface area—like spreading out more space—even though the brain fits inside your head. More surface area means more room for your brain cells, which helps you think, learn, remember, and do many amazing things every day.
So, the brain looks wrinkly so it can do more work and help you be super smart!
