brain biomechanics

Brain biomechanics is the study of how the brain responds to forces and movements, focusing on the physical behavior of brain tissue during impacts or rapid motions. It examines how acceleration, strain, and deformation affect brain structures, helping us understand injuries like concussions. By modeling how the brain's soft tissue reacts to external forces, biomechanics provides insights into injury mechanisms and aids in designing protective gear, medical treatments, and safety standards to minimize brain injury risks during accidents, sports, or other impact scenarios.
