Dynamic resting state connectivity of the default mode, salience and central executive networks in adolescents with concussion

Our study evaluated the dynamic functional connectivity of adolescents with concussion in comparison to healthy controls using (1) sliding window ROI-to-ROI and (2) sliding window graph theory analyses. Adolescents with concussion exhibited higher between-network connectivity between the salience network and central executive network, but reduced between-network connectivity between the default mode network to both the salience and executive networks. This suggests lower default mode network integration and engagement during rest following concussion in adolescents.
