Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies can provide a unique opportunity to examine brain connectivity patterns and understand the neural substrates of cognitive outcomes following traumatic injury. Therefore, this study aims to determine changes in functional connectivity patterns in patients with TBI compared to healthy individuals using two graph models, adaptive dense subgraph discovery (ADSD) and variance component.</p><p><strong>Materials & methods: </strong>This study used fMRI data downloaded from https://openneuro.org. These data included 14 patients with TBI aged between 18 and 36 and 12 healthy individuals (female: N=6, male: N=6) aged between 19 and 52. Out of the 74 regions examined, a cluster of 18 regions related to TBI was identified using the ADSD model.

In the human body, Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is essential for DNA synthesis and is required as a cofactor for functioning two crucial enzymes, methylmalonyl-CoA mutase and methionine synthase. The deficiency in these cobalamin-derivated coenzymes leads to enzyme activity dysfunction and an accumulation of their respective substrates, methylmalonic acid, and homocysteine,harming the brain and many other organs. Furthermore, deficiency in this micronutrient can lead to a wide spectrum of hematologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. In addition to vitamin B12 deficiency, some genetic disorders block the intracellular processing of Cobalamin to its cofactors and lead to symptoms somewhat similar to vitamin B12 deficiency. These disorders are called Cobalamin metabolism disorders. Many of them are reversible when diagnosed early and treated promptly.
