Rheological properties of the tissues of the central nervous system: A review

Cheng, Shaokoon, Clarke, Elizabeth C., Bilston, Lynne E.·2008·Medical Engineering & Physics

Abstract

Knowledge of the biomechanical properties of central nervous system (CNS) tissues is important for understanding mechanisms and thresholds for injury, and aiding development of computer or surrogate models of these tissues. Many investigations have been conducted to estimate the properties of CNS tissues including under shear, compressive and tensile loading, however there is much variability in this body of literature, making it difficult to separate the material properties from effects that result from a given experimental protocol. This review summarises previous studies of brain and spinal cord properties; discussing their main findings and points of difference, and displays the reported data on comparable scales. Additionally, based on the observed effects of methodological choices on reported tissue properties, recommendations for future studies of brain and spinal cord properties are made.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
