Scientists map brain motion to understand injury risks

NCT ID NCT01633268

Summary

This study developed new MRI techniques to measure how the brain moves and deforms during mild head motions in healthy volunteers. Researchers scanned 101 healthy adults aged 18-65 while they performed controlled head movements in an MRI machine. The goal was to create detailed 3D maps of brain biomechanics to help understand how traumatic brain injuries occur and which brain areas are most vulnerable.
