Abstract

Neuroanatomical alterations have been associated with cognitive deficits in mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). However, most studies have focused on the abnormal gray matter volume in widespread brain regions using a cross-sectional design in MTBI. This study investigated the neuroanatomical restoration of key regions in salience network and the outcomes in MTBI. Thirty-six MTBI patients with posttraumatic headache (PTH) and 34 matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging scans and were assessed with clinical measures during the acute and subacute phases. Surface-based morphometry was conducted to get cortical thickness (CT) and cortical surface area (CSA) of neuroanatomical regions which were defined by the Desikan atlas. Then mixed analysis of variance models were performed to examine CT and CSA restoration in patients from acute to subacute phase related to controls. Finally, mediation effects models were built to explore the relationships between neuroanatomical restoration and symptomatic improvement in patients. MTBI patients with PTH showed reduced headache impact and improved cognitive function from the acute to subacute phase. Moreover, patients experienced restoration of CT of the left caudal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and left insula and cortical surface area of the right superior frontal gyrus from acute to subacute phase. Further mediation analysis found that CT restoration of the ACC and insula mediated the relationship between reduced headache impact and improved cognitive function in patients. These results showed that neuroanatomical restoration of key regions in salience network correlated reduced headache impact with cognitive function improvement in MTBI with PTH, which further substantiated the vital role of salience network and provided an alternative clinical target for cognitive improvement in MTBI patients with PTH.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 May 2023.
All research outputs
#16,063,069
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Headache and Pain
#1,058
of 1,532 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,695
of 412,459 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Headache and Pain
#28
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,532 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 19.5. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 412,459 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
