The effect of Injury severity on Voxel-Mirrored-Homotopic Functional Connectivity

Description: This study aims to explore the interhemispheric intrinsic connectivity in TBI. TBI often cause diffuse axonal injury, described as shearing of white matter tracts, specifically the corpus callosum and other interhemispheric white matter microstructure. In this study, we examine the hypothesis that TBI will exhibit decreased interhemispheric functional connectivity by using voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity. VMHC quantifies the resting-state functional connectivity between each voxel in one hemisphere and its mirrored counterpart in the opposite hemisphere.
