... brain by its very nature is made of soft substances that are submerged in a thin layer of fluid inside the skull. Underneath the skull, there are multiple layers of tissues separated by intracranial spaces containing water-like liquid, called the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as shown in Figure 1. It is believed that this fluid plays an important role in the shock-absorbing capacity of the brain. ...

... the neurons play the role of processing and transmitting information, astrocytes provide the critical link between the circulatory system and the structural support and the maintenance of neurons (tripartite synapses, neurotransmitter processing, etc.) [22]. Figure 1 (zoom-in panel) illustrates the configuration of the brain cells. During TBI, astrocytes transmit mechanical forces to neurons and (by Newton's third law) accept forces from them. ...
