We present findings on PTH incidence and prevalence, as well as the latest neuroimaging research findings on mTBI and PTH. Additionally, we propose a new strategy in studying PTH following mTBI. The diversity and heterogeneity of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying mild traumatic brain injury pose unique challenges on how we interpret neuroimaging findings in PTH. Evaluating alterations in the intrinsic brain network connectivity patterns using novel imaging and analytical techniques may provide additional insights into PTH disease state and therefore inform effective treatment strategies.
