This work provides direct evidence that sustained tensile stress exists in white matter of the mature mouse brain. This finding has important implications for the mechanisms of brain development, as tension in neural axons has been hypothesized to drive cortical folding in the human brain. In addition, knowledge of residual stress is required to fully understand the mechanisms behind traumatic ...
