Brain injury criteria expressed in terms of axon strain

Key Points

• Axon strain is critical for defining brain injury severity, influencing recovery outcomes significantly.
• Key evidence showed correlations between axon strain thresholds and injury outcomes in various mechanical models.
• Analysis across different mechanical properties of brain tissue established guidelines for assessing axon strain-related injuries.
• Highlights the need for updated criteria based on axon strain, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy.
