Overview
- Features the current state of the art, with elementary models and current research at the frontiers of the field contained in each chapter
- Reviews both common and deadly clinical conditions encountered by neurosurgeons
- Expresses a unified approach to modelling brain conditions through the use of biomechanics and its extensions, giving readers a high-level perspective of clinical conditions of the brain

About this book
With the beginning research student in mind, the chapters have been crafted to be as self-contained as possible while addressing different clinical conditions and diseases. The book is intended as a brief introduction to both theoreticians and experimentalists interested in brain mechanics, with directions and guidance for further reading, for those who wish to pursue particular topics in greater depth. It can also be used as a complementary textbook in a graduate level course for neuroscientists and neuroengineers.
