This study uses magnetic resonance elastography to assess brain mechanical properties and perineuronal net density in a rat model of FASD, showing reduced stiffness in alcohol-exposed rats that recovers by adulthood.

This study links brain strain metrics from strain tensor imaging to vascular and tissue properties using mixed-effects models.

This paper demonstrates that viscoelastic intrinsic MRE provides unique and stable stiffness estimates in brain tissue due to its ultra-soft nature, resolving limitations in iMRE modeling.

This study uses anisotropic MR elastography to show age-related declines in white matter mechanical properties, providing complementary information to diffusion tensor imaging.

This study uses MRE to assess brain tissue mechanical properties in a rat FASD model before and after adolescent exercise, finding improved forebrain stiffness and damping ratio post-intervention.
