Altered brain functional connectivity in vegetative state and minimally conscious state [PDF]

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
ObjectivesThe pathological mechanism for a disorder of consciousness (DoC) is still not fully understood. Based on traditional behavioral scales, there is a high rate of misdiagnosis for subtypes of DoC.

Disturbed functional connectivity and topological properties of the frontal lobe in minimally conscious state based on resting-state fNIRS. [PDF]

Front Neurosci, 2023
Background Patients in minimally conscious state (MCS) exist measurable evidence of consciousness. The frontal lobe is a crucial part of the brain that encodes abstract information and is closely related to the conscious state.

Self-processing in coma, unresponsive wakefulness syndrome and minimally conscious state [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionBehavioral and cerebral dissociation has been now clearly established in some patients with acquired disorders of consciousness (DoC). Altogether, these studies mainly focused on the preservation of high-level cognitive markers in prolonged ...

Is frontoparietal electroencephalogram activity related to the level of functional disability in patients emerging from a minimally conscious state? A preliminary study. [PDF]

Front Hum Neurosci, 2022
Objective When regaining consciousness, patients who emerge from a minimally conscious state (EMCS) present with different levels of functional disability, which pose great challenges for treatment.

Animal-assisted therapy for patients in a minimally conscious state: A randomized two treatment multi-period crossover trial. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
OBJECTIVE:To investigate if animal-assisted therapy (AAT) leads to higher consciousness in patients in a minimally conscious state during a therapy session, measured via behavioral reactions, heart rate and heart rate variability. METHODS:In a randomized
