Development of acute hydrocephalus does not change brain tissue mechanical properties in adult rats, but in juvenile rats.

Regional changes in brain stiffness were previously demonstrated in an experimental obstructive hydrocephalus juvenile rat model. The open cranial sutures in the juvenile rats have influenced brain compression and mechanical properties during hydrocephalus development and the extent by which closed...
