[Abstract] Objective To explore the most consistent vulnerable regions of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) studied by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), and to reveal the underlying neural mechanism of mTBI.Materials and Methods A search was performed for studies on mTBI resting state brain activation abnormalities by regional homogeneity (ReHo), amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and fraction amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) before March 2022. The brain regions with abnormal local spontaneous brain activity in mTBI patients compared with healthy subjects in previous studies were summarized, and the signed differential mapping (SDM) software was used for data processing and analysis.Results A total of 11 studies (401 mTBI and 371 healthy controls) were included. Based on meta-analysis, it was confirmed that mTBI patients had significantly increased local spontaneous brain activity in right lingual gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, right dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus and left central sulcus. Local spontaneous brain activity was decreased in the left anterior cingulate and paracingulate gyrus, right angular gyrus and left middle frontal gyrus (P<0.005, peak height Z>1, cluster extent≥20 voxels).Conclusions Meta-analysis was used to confirm the abnormal core brain regions in mTBI patients. These findings help delineate specific areas of interest and understand the neurobiological basis of mTBI.
