Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can cause persistent post-concussion symptoms in 15-20% patients, however the presented type and severity of symptoms differ largely between patients. This study recruited 53 mTBI patients and 44 healthy controls to demonstrate the feasibility in using the imaging features of thalamic connectome combined with machine-learning regression models for the individualized prediction of clinical symptoms.
