Data Sheet 1_Axonal tract-integrated finite element brain model for predicting mild trauma

A finite element brain model incorporating axonal fiber tracts derived from a group-averaged tractography atlas. The model was validated against experimental data from postmortem human subject tests and used in reconstruction simulations of eight real-world mTBI cases. The dataset, authored by Noritoshi Atsumi and last updated in March 2026, is a 3.4 MB PDF file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Predicting mTBI risk based on axonal strain metrics from head impact simulations.
• Analyzing the relationship between specific neural tract damage and clinical symptoms based on the described injury metrics.
• Comparing the effects of different head rotation directions (horizontal, coronal, sagittal) on tract-level injury based on the model's findings.
• Validating new brain FE models against the experimental deformation data referenced in the description.

Strengths

• Model validated against experimental data from postmortem human subject tests.
• Simulations conducted on eight real-world mTBI cases, including vehicular- and sports-related impacts.
• Explicitly incorporates axonal fiber tracts at the anatomical level, a feature not present in most existing models.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 3.4 MB PDF, which may require extraction of underlying data for computational use.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, limiting immediate assessment of data structure.
• Row count and specific data formats beyond the PDF are unknown.
