Subarachnoid space (SAS) plays an important role in transferring and or damping the impact load or angular acceleration to the brain (Zoghi Sadegh 2009). Previous investigations have over simplified the complex architecture of the trabeculae of SAS and employed soft solid materials. The goal of this study is to investigate the histology, architecture and mechanotransduction of subarachnoid space and in particular the trabeculae. The results of this study facilitate future modeling of the brain and thereby better understanding of the TBI.
