This study shows that element formulation affects mesh convergence in finite element brain models, with selectively reduced integration providing the fastest convergence.

This study investigates how the falx cerebri contributes to the splenium's vulnerability in traumatic brain injury using biomechanical simulations.

This study shows that using nonlinear pia mater properties in finite element models improves predictions of acute subdural hematoma compared to linear models.

This study compares strain responses between surface- and voxel-based finite element head models, finding similar results except at interfacial boundaries where differences exceed 0.1.

This study uses molecular dynamics to investigate how lipid composition and protein concentration affect axonal membrane rupture, finding that node-of-Ranvier membranes rupture at lower strains than myelin.

This study evaluates how different helmets affect brain strain distribution and peak values during impacts, showing that strain metrics and helmet performance depend on injury parameters used.

This study quantifies different types of white matter strain during in vivo impacts and finds that perpendicular normal strain is the largest.
