AbstractChildren with beta-thalassemia major (beta-TM) are at risk of cognitive impairment, particularly in learning and memory. While cognitive deficits in the general population have been extensively studied, brain-based predictors for beta-TM children remain unexplored. This study used connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) to examine whole-brain functional connectivity in 60 participants to predict cognitive performance.
