I will report on our ongoing journey to decipher the role of brain mechanics at various scales. At the cellular scale, we strive to set up a continuum model for the interaction of cells and extracellular matrix in neuronal network formation. The resulting PDEs are of convection-diffusion/advection type and thus challenge their computational implementation. To this end, we develop novel...
