Mechanical networks of the brain
The August issue of ADVANCED SCIENCE features an article on insights into the brain’s mechanical networks that shed light on the relationship between microanatomy and macroscopic biomechanical changes that can be measured by elastography in patients and used as novel imaging markers. The authors: Judith Bergs, Anna S. Morr, Rafaela V. Silva, Carmen Infante-Duarte and Ingolf Sack. In article 2402338, Ingolf Sack and colleagues develop a mechanics-inspired model of four communicating brain networks whose interactions and changes explain the current in vivo elastography findings in the normal and diseased human brain.
