We are pleased to announce that our recent interdisciplinary research article, titled ‘’Brain Functional Connectivity Network Adjustments After Lateral Fluid Percussion Injury in Immature Rats: A Longitudinal Study,’ has been accepted for presentation at the the IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Body Sensor Networks: NextGen Health: Sensor Innovation, AI, and Social Responsibility (IEEE BSN 2024) Conference, Chicago, IL.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children poses distinct challenges because of the rapid and intricate development of the brain. To understand how TBI affects brain function and structure in pediatric populations, advanced modeling techniques, such as brain network modeling, are essential. This study investigates changes in functional connectivity networks (FCNs) following mild to moderate lateral fluid percussion injury (lFPI) in immature rats, utilizing functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
