For concussion sufferers, even those who never lost consciousness, physicians may now be able to predict early on who is more likely to continue experiencing symptoms months or years after the head-jarring event, using a new non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method devised by a consortium of researchers led by UC San Francisco scientists.

Brain’s Wiring Connected to Sensory Processing Disorder
Children with sensory processing disorder (SPD) have actual differences in their brain’s white matter, which is the “wiring” of the brain. The difference in the brain connectivity predicts challenges with auditory and tactile processing. The findings came after UCSF researchers did the largest imaging study ever with children who have SPD. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2016/12/405116/most-popular-science-stories-2016
