Neck Flexion Induces Larger Deformation of the Brain Than Extension at a Rotational Acceleration, Closed Head Trauma

<div>Two FOPTs in opposite brain hemispheres from the right and the left side, facing each other, recorded the pressure in the left or right side of the brainstem (BS) at a low level flexion (a) and basal ganglia at a low level extension (b). Similar pressure recordings were obtained for both the brainstem and the basal ganglia, respectively, at either exposure direction. The variations reflect minor differences in sensor positions.</div>
