First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how proton beam radiation affects brain networks and thinking in children and young adults (ages 6-25) treated for brain tumors. Researchers will use special MRI scans taken at rest, along with thinking tests and quality-of-life questionnaires, to compare patients with healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand if radiation causes changes in brain connections that may affect memory or attention.
