| Abstract: | Objective: This study aimed to compare psychosocial outcomes and functional neuroimaging among youth with concussion, youth with anxiety, and age- and sex-matched controls. Methods: Using archival data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM Study, we analyzed between-group differences in psychosocial outcomes measured by the Child Behavior Checklist's internalizing and externalizing problem scales, and assessed brain function using resting-state fMRI network-region connectivity (specifically frontoparietal network (FPN) and default mode network (DMN) connectivity with the amygdala). Results: Significant differences in psychosocial outcomes were found across all groups, with the anxiety group reporting the most internalizing problems, followed by the concussion group which significantly differed from controls. Additionally, FPN-amygdala connectivity was significantly reduced in the concussion group only; this reduced connectivity did not predict psychosocial outcomes across groups. Conclusion: This study provided preliminary findings that brain connectivity is reduced exclusively in individuals with concussion. Although disruptions were observed in the concussion group, further investigation is warranted to understand how disruptions may be associated with concussion symptoms. Studies that utilize well-defined control and study groups, and comprehensive cognitive and mental health measures will offer a deeper understanding of the relationship between brain function and psychosocial outcomes.
