The influence of physiological aging and atrophy on brain viscoelastic properties in humans.
Physiological aging of the brain is accompanied by ubiquitous degeneration of neurons and oligodendrocytes. An alteration of the cellular matrix of an organ impacts its macroscopic viscoelastic properties which can be detected by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE)--to date the only method for mea...
