Graph-Theory Study of DTI in Chronic TBI- Does Injury Severity Modulate the Association between Structural Connectivity and Cognition in Traumatic Brain Injury?
Description: TBI is often characterized by white matter damage, producing alterations in brain connectivity. These alterations are commonly suspected to disrupt the function of large-scale networks that support cognition. One approach to explore these alternations is graph theory, which examines the brain from a network perspective. The present study aims to examine whether injury severity modulates white matter connectivity and the association between the connectivity and cognition in TBI using a diffusion MRI based network analysis.
