Executive dysfunction affects nearly 50% of individuals with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), yet interventions targeting the underlying neural mechanisms remain limited. This study examined whether aerobic exercise modulates functional connectivity to improve executive function in individuals with mild TBI and identified the neural pathways mediating these improvements. In this secondary analysis of a 12-week pilot randomized controlled trial, participants with mild TBI (n=24) were randomized to...
