Pressurestat Model

The dura mater plays a key role in both the Mechanical Model and the Pressurestat Model.

In the Pressurestat Model,
the dura serves as a functional boundary of a
‘Semi-closed Hydraulic System’
that houses the
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

Mechanical Model

The dura mater plays a key role in both the Mechanical Model and the Pressurestat Model.

In the Mechanical Model,
the dura serves as a
Reciprocal Tension Membrane.
