ABSTRACT
Introduction. TBI is associated with alterations in cortico-subcortical connectivity. However, little attention
has been paid to its clinical characteristics and functional connectivity in pediatric patients with chronic TBI.
Objective. To evaluate the cognitive performance and spectral coherence of a group of children with TBI in
non-acute phase.
Method. Cross-sectional study of 15 children with chronic TBI and 17 healthy children. The
Neuropsychological Assessment of Children (Evaluación Neuropsicológica Infantil, ENI) was used and the
resting activity of the EEG with eyes-closed was recorded. Offline, two-second epochs of the EEG of each participant
were chosen and the spectral coherence was estimated in a range of 1.6 to 30 Hz. The cognitive performance
between groups was compared with T-test/Mann-Whitney U Test and MANOVA for the coherence
values.
Results. The TBI group showed a lower performance (
p ≤ 0.05) in metalinguistic, visuospatial skills,
attention, memory, non-verbal flexibility, planning, and organization. Differences (
p ≤ 0.000) were found both
inter and intrahemispherically in the spectral coherence between the groups, particularly on F1-F3 (95% CI:
0.543 - 0.557) over the whole frequency range and F3-C3 (95% CI: 0.503 - 0.515) in delta, theta, alpha2, and
beta frequencies.
Discussion and conclusión. Our findings suggest alterations of hypo and hyper functional
connectivity, particularly on the frontal and parietal lobes of both hemispheres, even after several years of a
TBI. It is possible that a subtle difference in the degree of connectivity is crucial in the genesis or successful
development of attentional, mnesic, executive, and visuospatial processes.
