Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health problem, on pace to become the
third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020. Moreover, emerging evidence linking …

Head acceleration measurement sensors are now widely deployed in the field to monitor
head kinematic exposure in contact sports. The wealth of impact kinematics data provides …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is linked to several pathologies for which there is a lack of
understanding of disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. To elucidate injury …

Reviewed herein are contemporary neuroimaging methods that detect abnormalities
associated with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Despite advances in demonstrating …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and permanent impairment over
the last decades. In both the severe and mild TBIs, diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is the most …

Sports-related concussion is a major public health problem in the United States and yet its
biomechanical mechanisms remain unclear. In vitro studies demonstrate axonal elongation …

Dozens of finite element models of the human brain have been developed for providing
insight into the mechanical response of the brain during impact. Many models used in …

Head impacts leading to traumatic brain injury (TBI) present a major health risk today,
projected to become the third leading cause of death by 2020. While finite element (FE) …

With the growing rate of traumatic brain injury (TBI), there is an increasing interest in
validated tools to predict and prevent brain injuries. Finite element models (FEM) are …

This paper proposes the implementation of fractional anisotropy and axonal fiber orientation
from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of 12 healthy patients into an existing human FE head …
