Mechanical Properties of Rhesus Monkey Brain Tissue from 35 Samples

Grace Jeanpierre's dataset from the Texas Data Repository provides mechanical data from rhesus monkey brain tissue. It includes 35 samples from 4 subjects, covering both basal ganglia (gray matter) and corona radiata (white matter). Four types of mechanical tests were performed on a triaxial testing machine: compression relaxation, tension relaxation, tension-compression cycling, and shear cycling.

Use Cases

• Modeling brain tissue constitutive behavior based on triaxial mechanical test data
• Comparing mechanical properties between gray and white matter brain regions
• Analyzing viscoelastic tissue response based on relaxation and cyclic test protocols

Strengths

• Data originates from 35 physical tissue samples from 4 subjects.
• Includes four distinct mechanical test types performed on a triaxial machine.
• Explicitly covers two key brain tissue types: basal ganglia and corona radiata.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
