Abstract Consciousness may be defined as a neurological state in which one is fully awake and aware of self and environment and has normal responses to external stimulation and inner needs. Unconsciousness is the opposite; it is a neurological state of overtly diminished responsiveness to environmental stimuli and unawareness of self and

Chronic disorders of consciousness
The Lancet, 2006The vegetative state and the minimally conscious state are disorders of consciousness that can be acute and reversible or chronic and irreversible. Diffuse lesions of the thalami, cortical neurons, or the white-matter tracts that connect them cause the vegetative state, which is wakefulness without awareness.

Chronic Consciousness Disorders
Annual Review of Medicine, 2009Although philosophers and cognitive neuroscientists have struggled to define human consciousness, physicians can identify and assess its two clinical dimensions: wakefulness and awareness. A comatose patient has neither wakefulness nor awareness; a patient in a vegetative state has wakefulness without awareness; and a minimally conscious patient has ...

Assessing consciousness and cognition in disorders of consciousness
NeuroRehabilitationDetecting willful cognition in these patients is known to be challenging due to the patients’ motor disabilities and high vigilance fluctuations but also due to the lack of expertise and use of adequate tools to assess these patients in specific settings.

The vegetative state and other so‐called disorders of consciousness present some of the most significant practical and ethical challenges in modern medicine. It is extremely difficult to assess residual cognitive function in these patients because their movements may be minimal or inconsistent, or because no cognitive output may be possible.

Electrophysiology in disorders of consciousness
Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a powerful tool in the diagnosis, characterization, and prognostication of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). EEG is a well-established monitoring tool for the treatment of specific patient populations with impaired consciousness, such as those with status epilepticus and cardiac arrest.Mohamed, Ridha +2 more

Prolonged disorders of consciousness (DOC)—the vegetative and minimally conscious states (VS/MCS)—are uncommon but devastating outcomes after severe brain injury. Until recently, the medical community has viewed them with great pessimism with respect to both prognosis and effective treatments.

[Neurology of consciousness and of consciousness disorders].
Schweizerische Rundschau fur Medizin Praxis = Revue suisse de medecine Praxis, 1994The two physiologic components of conscious behaviour, namely arousal (vigilance) and content of consciousness (presence of mind), may be affected differently, depending on the type and distribution of the underlying brain disease. Disturbance of arousal primarily affects wakefulness and awareness and leads to obtundation, stupor and coma.
