Habituation of auditory startle reflex is a new sign of minimally conscious state. [PDF]

Brain, 2020
Disorders of consciousness are challenging to diagnose. Hermann et al. identify a new clinical sign, the habituation of auditory startle reflex, which indexes the activity of a fronto-parietal network and predicts improved consciousness at 6 months.
