Description
Yining Chen and co-authors pooled brain scan studies in 2026 on lasting white matter harm after traumatic brain injury. White matter carries signals between brain areas, and diffusion scans can reveal hidden damage months after injury. The team kept 27 studies of people at least three months post-injury, excluding sports and combat cases, and compared them with controls.
Scans showed weaker signal direction and freer water movement across many pathways, a sign of damaged wiring. Effects were larger after moderate to severe injury, and strongest in the corpus callosum, the bridge between brain halves. Age, sex, and scanner strength swayed results, so the authors urge tighter controls in future work.
