Disrupted topological organization of brain functional networks has been widely observed in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the grey matter (GM) network not yet investigated pediatric PTSD who was more vulnerable to develop when exposed stress. Twenty two patients and 22 matched trauma-exposed controls survived a massive earthquake (8.0 magnitude on Richter scale) Sichuan Province western China 2008 underwent structural imaging with MRI 8–15 months after earthquake. Brain were constructed based morphological similarity GM across regions, analyzed using graph theory approaches. Nonparametric permutation testing performed assess group differences each metric. Compared controls, characterized by decreased characteristic path length (P = 0.0060) increased clustering coefficient 0.0227), global efficiency 0.0085) local 0.0024). Locally, exhibited centrality nodes default-mode (DMN), central executive (CEN) salience (SN), involving medial prefrontal (mPFC), parietal, anterior cingulate (ACC), occipital olfactory cortex hippocampus.
