Are we really unconscious in “unconscious” states? Common assumptions revisited
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 In the field of consciousness science, there is a tradition to categorize certain states such as slow-wave non-REM sleep and deep general anesthesia as “unconscious”. While this categorization seems reasonable at first glance, careful investigations have

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023 The healthy conscious brain is thought to operate near a critical state, reflecting optimal information processing and high susceptibility to external stimuli. Conversely, deviations from the critical state are hypothesized to give rise to altered states

Opioid-induced short-term consciousness improvement in patients with disorders of consciousness
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionEffective treatment to facilitate recovery from prolonged disorders of consciousness is a complex topic for the medical community. In clinical practice, we have found that a subset of patients has a short-term improvement of consciousness ...

Cognitive motor dissociation in patients with chronic disorders of consciousness: a literature review [PDF]
Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2021 Chronic disorders of consciousness include several conditions that differ significantly in both clinical and neurophysiological features. As medical technology continues to develop, the differential diagnosis of disorders of consciousness extends beyond ...
