      There is quite a lot of differences between peoples brains! No one has has exactly the same layout of the brain ‘tubes’. Each of these ‘tubes’ are called sulci and gyri – the gaps are called sulci and the brain between them are the gyri. I suppose they can be exactly like a fingerprint, however it would be a lot more effort to get a brain scan than a fingerprint! 🙂
