In the thesis , we present a universal model of brain tissue microstructure that dynamically links osmosis and diffusion with geometrical parameters of brain extracellular space (ECS) . In the first part , we investigate the biological aspects of the model , and in the second , we analysis the model in the mathematical framework . The first part : Our model robustly describes and predicts the nonlinear time dependency of tortuosity ($\lambda = \sqrt{D/{D^{*}}}$) changes with very high precision in various media with uniform and nonuniform osmolarity distribution , as demonstrated by previously published experimental data ($D$ = free diffusion coefficient , $D^{*}$ = effective...
