French Survey on Pain Perception and Management in Patients with Locked-In Syndrome

Diagnostics, 2022
Patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS) may suffer from pain, which can significantly affect their daily life and well-being. In this study, we aim to investigate the presence and the management of pain in LIS patients.

Gender Specificities in Sleep Disturbances following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Preliminary Study

Brain Sciences, 2023
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, can lead to persistent cognitive and functional symptoms that impede quality of life to a varying extent. This condition is referred to as post-concussive syndrome (PCS).

Losing the Self in Near-Death Experiences: The Experience of Ego-Dissolution

Brain Sciences, 2021
Many people who have had a near-death experience (NDE) describe, as part of it, a disturbed sense of having a “distinct self”. However, no empirical studies have been conducted to explore the frequency or intensity of these effects.

Neurophysiological Correlates of a Single Session of Prefrontal tDCS in Patients with Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Study

Brain Sciences, 2020
Background. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) was reported to promote the recovery of signs of consciousness in some patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS), but its ...

Loss of consciousness reduces the stability of brain hubs and the heterogeneity of brain dynamics

Communications Biology, 2021
López-González et al study the fMRI brain dynamics and their underlying mechanism from patients that suffered brain injuries leading to a disorder of consciousness as well as from healthy subjects undergoing propofol-induced sedation.

High-Density EEG in a Charles Bonnet Syndrome Patient during and without Visual Hallucinations: A Case-Report Study

Cells, 2021
Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a rare clinical condition characterized by complex visual hallucinations in people with loss of vision. So far, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the hallucinations remain elusive.

Quantifying arousal and awareness in altered states of consciousness using interpretable deep learning

Nature Communications, 2022
The authors propose an explainable consciousness indicator using deep learning to quantify arousal and awareness under sleep, anesthesia, and in patients with disorders of consciousness.

Brain connectivity in pathological and pharmacological coma

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2010
Recent studies in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) tend to support the view that awareness is not related to activity in a single brain region but to thalamo-cortical connectivity in the frontoparietal network.
