intracranial [or cerebral] compliance

:-)

Cerebral compliance (C) is the ability of the brain to adapt to changes in volume (dV) inside the cranium in order to reduce changes in pressure (dP).
http://www.sophysa.com/cerebral-compliance_80_9.html

Cerebral compliance expresses the capability to buffer an intracranial volume increase while avoiding a rise in intracranial pressure (ICP).
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15900402

Intracranial compliance (ICC) determines the ability of the intracranial compartment to accommodate an increase in volume without a large increase in intracranial pressure (ICP).
