Comput Biol Med. 2008 Sep;38(9):1024-41. doi: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2008.07.004. Epub 2008 Aug 29.

Abstract

This paper reviews the literature regarding the development, testing, and application of physiology-based computer simulation models of intracranial pressure dynamics. Detailed comparative information is provided in tabular format about the model variables and logic, any data collected, model testing and validation methods, and model results. Several syntheses are given that summarize the research carried out by influential research teams and researchers, review important findings, and discuss the methods employed, limitations, and opportunities for further research.
