Dizziness is a frequent symptom of concussion, however neuroimaging evidence that supports clinical symptoms after mTBI was less explored. This study demonstrated the post-concussion damages of thalamo-cortical networks revealed by the axonal injuries of specific fiber tracts and the altered functional connectivity. The estimates of Dizziness Handicap Inventory significantly correlated to the functional connectivity of thalamic nuclei.
