Analysis of current density and related parameters in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
A volume conductor model of the spinal cord and surrounding anatomical structures is used to calculate current (and current density) charge per pulse, and maximum charge density per pulse at the contact surface of the electrode in the dorsal epidural ...

The Strain Rates in the Brain, Brainstem, Dura, and Skull under Dynamic Loadings
Knowing the precise material properties of intracranial head organs is crucial for studying the biomechanics of head injury. It has been shown that these biological tissues are significantly rate-dependent; hence, their material properties should be ...

Biomechanics of vascular areas of the human cranial dura mater
Accurate biomechanical properties of the human cranial dura mater are paramount for computational head models, artificial graft developments and biomechanical basic research. Yet, it is unclear whether areas of the dura containing meningeal vessels biomechanically differ from avascular areas. Here, 244 dura mater samples with or without vessels from 32

Estimation of fiber diameters in the spinal dorsal columns from clinical data [PDF]
Lack of human morphometric data regarding the largest nerve fibers in the dorsal columns (DCs) of the spinal cord has lead to the estimation of the diameters of these fibers from clinical data retrieved from patients with a new spinal cord stimulation ...

Large-scale morphometry of the subarachnoid space of the optic nerve
Background The meninges, formed by dura, arachnoid and pia mater, cover the central nervous system and provide important barrier functions. Located between arachnoid and pia mater, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled subarachnoid space (SAS) features a ...
