Resting state connectivity analysis has been applied to several neuropsychiatric diseases to help characterize functional connectivity disturbances. The purpose of this study was to analyze functional connectivity (FC) changes of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and thalamus in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) using resting state fMRI.
