Although not all data collected were used, a selection encompassing the various aspects of effects observed in traumatic brain injury were selected.
SiMLR, similarity-driven multi-view linear reconstruction; T1-w, T1-weighted; T2-w, T2-weighted; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; FA, fractional anisotropy; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; fALFF, fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation; rs-fMRI, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging; Aβ42, beta-amyloid 42.
