Description for Neural Tissue Biomechanics
Hardback. Neural Tissue Biomechanics reviews the methods used to characterize nonlinear viscoelastic properties of central and peripheral neural tissues. Readers will find a comprehensive picture of the mechanical and biological response of neural tissues, including the full spectrum of mechanical loading. Editor(s): Bilston, Lynne E. Series: Studies in Mechanobiology, Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials. Num Pages: 296 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJN; MQW; PSAN; TGB; TGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 164 x 22. Weight in Grams: 596.
Damage to the central nervous system resulting from pathological mechanical loading can occur as a result of trauma or disease. Such injuries lead to significant disability and mortality. The peripheral nervous system, while also subject to injury from trauma and disease, also transduces physiological loading to give rise to sensation, and mechanotransduction is also thought to play a role in neural development and growth. This book gives a complete and quantitative description of the fundamental mechanical properties of neural tissues, and their responses to both physiological and pathological loading. This book reviews the methods used to characterize the nonlinear viscoelastic ... Read more

Reviews for Neural Tissue Biomechanics
From the reviews: “This textbook discusses the biomechanics of brain and spinal cord injuries inc. trauma via blunt force, tumors, & hemorrhage. … This book has an international authorship and will be requisite studies for neurosurgeons, orthopaedics, and neurologists. It will be appropriate for graduate students as well.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, December, 2013)
