Brain connectivity and postural control in young traumatic brain injury patients: A diffusion MRI based network analysis☆☆
Under a Creative Commons license
open access
Highlights
► We examine the brain connectome in relation to traumatic brain injury (TBI). ► Altered structural connectivity is found in the networks of TBI patients. ► Poor balance performance is associated with decreases in structural connectivity. ► Structural connectivity analysis adds new information to standard DTI analyses.
