N2  - The determination of brain and spinal cord injury mechanisms has perplexed medical and biomechanical scientists for a very long time.  This paper analyzes some neural impact tests on brain and spinal cord, by using 46 brain and 48 spinal cord impact experiments.  These tests provide a database on brain and spinal cord injury, and the results indicate that strain is not a sufficient parameter of neural injury risk, and that the product of strain rate and strain provides a key biomechanical parameter for brain and spinal cord injury.<br />
