It is well established that concussions can lead to disruption of white matter (WM) microstructural integrity and lead to neurocognitive impairment. Little is known, however, about the effects of cumulative repetitive head impacts, or so-called subconcussive head impact exposure. Neuroimaging analyses of youth athletes may allow characterization of potential dose-response changes in white matter due to sports-related cumulative subconcussive head impact exposure, particularly during this time of extraordinary brain development. en Wake Forest University DTI, structural network connectivity, and neurocognitive changes associated with subconcussive impacts in youth football players Dissertation Whitlow, Christopher T Maldjian, Joseph Munley, Michael Jung, Youngkyoo Stitzel, Joel Biomedical Engineering 2021-08-19 open.access
