Calculation of intracranial pressure in human brain using Darcy's and Biot's models

Jean-Marie Drezet, Kamal Shahim

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colourless liquid that fills the ventricular space and serves several functions like buoyancy, chemical stability and protection. CSF is produced within the ventricles and partly by the ependyma cells. Part of it seeps toward ...

Bio Simulation of Brain Ventricle Dilation in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Kamal Shahim

Hydrocephalus is a brain disease wherein the ventricles dilate and compress the parenchyma towards the skull. It is primarily characterized by the disruption of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow within the ventricular system. Normal pressure hydrocephalus ...

Noise in brain activity engenders perception and influences discrimination sensitivity

Fosco Bernasconi, Athina Tzovara

Behavioral and brain responses to identical stimuli can vary with experimental and task parameters, including the context of stimulus presentation or attention. More surprisingly, computational models suggest that noise-related random fluctuations in brain ...

Finite element analysis of normal pressure hydrocephalus: influence of CSF content and anisotropy in permeability

Jean-François Molinari, Jean-Marie Drezet, Kamal Shahim

Hydrocephalus is a cerebral disease where brain ventricles enlarge and compress the brain parenchyma towards the skull leading to symptoms like dementia, walking disorder and incontinence. The origin of normal pressure hydrocephalus is still obscure. In or ...
