An unfolded brain works fine.

There are complex proximity interactions, the Robert Sapolsky biology course introduces the subject well (guest lecture by Nathan Woodling.) Best of luck =3

Neat, thanks!

An unfolded human brain works fine? Still sentient? Still has qualia?

Brains are surprisingly resilient. There are documented cases of people losing half their brain and living seemingly normal lives afterwards.

The remaining half is still folded though, so the resilience angle doesn't really disprove if folding might be important.
