Effects of repetitive sub-concussive brain injury on the functional connectivity of Default Mode Network in high school football athletes

Kausar Abbas et al. Dev Neuropsychol. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

Sub-concussive head impacts are identified as a source of accrued damage. Football athletes experience hundreds of such blows each season. Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to prospectively study changes in Default Mode Network connectivity for clinically asymptomatic high school football athletes. Athletes exhibited short-term changes relative to baseline and across sessions.
