Neurodevelopment is a complex, dynamic process that involves a precisely orchestrated
sequence of genetic, environmental, biochemical, and physical events. Developmental …

The mammalian brain is composed of an outer layer of gray matter, consisting of cell bodies,
dendrites, and unmyelinated axons, and an inner core of white matter, consisting primarily of …

Brain stiffness plays an important role in neuronal development and disease, but reported
stiffness values vary significantly for different species, for different brains, and even for …
