Summary

This study used MRI scans to measure how the brain moves inside the skull during gentle head motions, like turning your head. Researchers studied 90 healthy adults aged 18-65 to create a database of normal brain movement. The goal was to develop a new imaging method that could help predict which parts of the brain are at risk during head injuries.
