Synopsis
The goal of this work is to identify MRI biomarkers of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) using a pig model of pediatric concussion. We have found changes in the brain using DTI and fMRI in the days and weeks immediately following injury. We also collected data from a battery of cognitive, emotional, and motor assessments. Together, we anticipate these data will help us to identify biomarkers of injury that will improve diagnostics of children to decrease the risk of post-injury complications.
