We applied MRE to study regional differences in
viscoelasticity in normal and inflamed mouse brain. In
normal mouse brain, we found that the posterior region
(comprising cerebellum and brainstem) is softer than the
anterior region in a midsagittal slice. We also examined
the alterations in G' of the GKO mice where more
cerebellum involvement is expected during EAE, we
observed the reduction in G' during the course of
disease and a significant increase in the ratio of G'
between the posterior and anterior part of the brain at
day 14, which may relate to the infiltration of immune
cells.
