A highly simplified model for the gross motion of the brain in its elastic suspension. The skull is shown in pure translation. The elastic element at the base and the springs at the perimeter represent the brain's attachments to the skull. Note that linear deceleration of the skull leads to both linear and angular displacement of the brain relative to the skull.
