Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often leads to disconnection of the brain intrinsic networks. Our study was to investigate how SN interacts with CEN/DMN can be viewed from the observation of how network connectivity damage affects other networks as a function of time, as well as its impact on cognition and emotion. The results suggests that intrinsic brain networks in mTBI patients showed continued damage from acute to sub-acute phase after injury. Function connectivity of SN interacts with CEN/DMN are especially susceptible in mTBI patients and the damage for inter-network functional disconnection will lead to high level cognitive dysfunction.
