Rapid deformation of brain matter caused by skull acceleration is most likely the cause of
concussion, as well as more severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The inability to measure …

An automated method to estimate vector fields of propagation velocity from observed epicardial
extracellular potentials is introduced. The method relies on fitting polynomial surfaces T(x…

White matter in the brain is structurally anisotropic, consisting largely of bundles of aligned,
myelin-sheathed axonal fibers. White matter is believed to be mechanically anisotropic as …

During human brain development, the cerebral cortex undergoes substantial folding, leading
to its characteristic highly convoluted form. Folding is necessary to accommodate the …

Genetically modified mice represent useful tools for traumatic brain injury (TBI) research
and attractive preclinical models for the development of novel therapeutics. Experimental …

Deformation of the human brain was measured in tagged magnetic resonance images (MRI)
obtained dynamically during angular acceleration of the head. This study was undertaken …

Motile cilia are essential components of the mucociliary escalator and are central to
respiratory-tract host defenses. Abnormalities in these evolutionarily conserved organelles cause …

The dynamic stability of the milling process is investigated through a single degree of freedom
mechanical model. Two alternative analytical methods are introduced, both based on …

In brain imaging, accurate alignment of cortical surfaces is fundamental to the statistical
sensitivity and spatial localisation of group studies, and cortical surface-based alignment has …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase contrast–based MRI technique that can
measure displacement due to propagating mechanical waves, from which material …
