Dear MRI Insider,
The incidence of concussion in children has increased over the years, and some research suggests that there are differences between concussed girls and boys, with girls experiencing more severe and longer-lasting symptoms.
But whether there are sex differences in the neuropathy of concussion in children -- that is, resting-state functional brain activity disturbances -- has remained unclear. In this edition's Insider Exclusive, we're highlighting research on the topic presented in London at the recent International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting.
Once you've read the exclusive, check out other articles we've posted recently in the MRI Community, including a full roster of stories and videos from ISMRM 2022 (the list below represents only a fraction of our coverage!):
