  "summary": "Despite lacking a dedicated structural function, brain tissue is exposed to severe mechanical loading during accidents and trauma, with potentially permanent or lethal consequences. Therefore, characterizing its mechanical behavior assumes particular importance for designing protective equipment, planning surgeries, and training neurosurgeons, tasks that often rely on physical brain replicas made…",
