Our brain is like a peeled walnut. There are bulging folds and between folds are the grooves. These grooves are called suci. Mild prominenece of these suci are called mild sulcal prominence. Often such prominenece are noticed with age and these are attributed to normal aging. However, defects in the cerebellum may also called prominenece of the cerebral sulci.
