Fig. 7

Sutural strain resulting from bilateral stimulation of neck extensor muscles. Pig 160, photograph of oscilloscope screen. In addition to three braincase sutures, strain from the left zygomatic suture is shown. Contraction of the neck muscles caused substantial tensile strain in both right and left coronal sutures, but no measurable deflection for the interfrontal or zygomatic.
