Agarose gels: Model of artificial brain in neurosurgery
Abstract
The term artificial brain usually brings to mind a computer model that mimics neuronal activity. International teams have already worked on a model of agarose gel to explore the cerebral perfusion of drugs (1). Our work had 2 goals: 1-to create a biomechanical brain surrogate used for the development of an invasive neurosurgical robot, devised for future medical applications such as tumor removal and insertion of implant; 2-to determine the physical and mechanical parameters of the gels that will be used for experimental tests(development of robot).
