Explanation / Answer

The alien's brain would be showing " an enlarged area with surface grooves and folds".

It is nothing but cerebral cortex and particularly neocortex. As the name itself indicates, it is the newest addition to the brain and is considered to be achievment of evolution. It is the center of extraordinary human cognitive abilities like thinking, reasoning, analysis etc. As the question states that the alien is trained like astronauts on the earth, this neocortex should be definitely present in the alien brain.
