Regional variations in stiffness in live mouse brain tissue determined by depth-controlled indentation mapping

Abstract The mechanical properties of brain tissue play a pivotal role in neurodevelopment and neurological disorders. Yet, at present, there is no consensus on how the different structural parts of the tissue contribute to its stiffness variations. Here, we have gathered depth-controlled indentatio...
