Recently published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering:In Situ deformations in the immature brain during rapid rotations by Ibrahim, Natesh, Szczesny, Ryall, Eucker, Coats & Margulies. This communication quantifies brain strain and brain/skull displacement during rapid head rotations in an immature brain.

Hemisections were rotated and high speed camera filmed ink dots placed on the brain and skull tissue. A in-house program tracked the dots and calculated strain
