Abstract

The diffuse nature of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) impacts brain white-matter pathways with potentially long-term consequences, even after initial symptoms have resolved. To understand post-mTBI recovery in adolescents, longitudinal studies are needed to determine the interplay between highly individualised recovery trajectories and ongoing development. To capture the distributed nature of mTBI and recovery, we employ connectomes to probe the brain’s structural organisation. We present a diffusion MRI study on adolescent mTBI subjects scanned one day, two weeks and one year after injury with controls. Longitudinal global network changes over time suggests an altered and more ‘diffuse’ network topology post-injury (specifically lower transitivity and global efficiency). Stratifying the connectome by its back-bone, known as the ‘rich-club’, these network changes were driven by the ‘peripheral’ local subnetwork by way of increased network density, fractional anisotropy and decreased diffusivities. This increased structural integrity of the local subnetwork may be to compensate for an injured network, or it may be robust to mTBI and is exhibiting a normal developmental trend. The rich-club also revealed lower diffusivities over time with controls, potentially indicative of longer-term structural ramifications. Our results show evolving, diffuse alterations in adolescent mTBI connectomes beginning acutely and continuing to one year.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
