Description:
The human brain is one of the most complex organs in the human body and requires multidisciplinary approaches to address medically relevant challenges. Multiscale, multifield modeling of the brain’s mechanical, biomechanical, and biochemical behavior allows the investigation of complex mechanisms such as brain development, aging, and neurological diseases. This mini-symposium will bring together scientists from diverse multidisciplinary backgrounds to present and discuss their recent progress in theoretical, experimental, and computational work on the mechanics of brain development, function, and pathology.
Topics of interest:
- Mechanics of brain folding
- Mechanics of brain microstructure
- Neuromechanics
- Mechanics of brain aging
- Mechanics of developmental disorders
- Mechanics of neurodegenerative diseases
- Neuroimaging physics
- Multiscale characterization of the material properties of the brain
- Transport physics and mechanics in the brain
- Mechanics of traumatic and axonal brain injury
- Computational modeling of brain disorders
- Mechanics of brain tumors and tumor microenvironment
- Brain-tissue response to implants and devices
- Artificial intelligence in brain mechanics
