... modulus was also found to increase overall with age, increasing by > 100 % between P10 and adult rats. Unconfined compression tests ( ε = − 0.3 ) were performed on whole slices of the hippocampus and cortex of P10, P17, and adult rats to verify the mechanical properties measured with the AFM. Mean...
