The impact of moderate and severe traumatic brain injury in reducing neural network dynamics

Nicholas Lyndon Gilbert

This study focuses on state-level dynamic connectivity differences between TBI-affected individuals and healthy controls over the course of two runs of intermittent task and resting data. The goal of this study was to analyze the dynamic properties of neural networks engaged in periodic task stimulation to determine the flexibility of networks states after traumatic brain injury. Functional MRI, dynamic connectivity, and graph theory methods revealed diminished network dynamics for TBI-affected subjects compared to healthy controls.
