    Similarly, there is no clean relationship between the amount of folding and the number of neurons, the total area of the cortex, or the thickness of the cortex.

Doesn't the article directly contradict this statement? What am I not understanding?

I think the statement means that there isn't a 1:1 correspondence between the amount of folding and the other things listed. The relationship only exists when you consider two independent variables, not one. The sentence is very awkwardly written, however.
