Classical conditioning in the vegetative and minimally conscious state

open access: yesNature Neuroscience, 2009
Pavlovian trace conditioning depends on the temporal gap between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. It requires, in mammals, functional medial temporal lobe structures and, in humans, explicit knowledge of the temporal contingency. It is therefore considered to be a plausible objective test to assess awareness without relying on explicit ...

The Comorbidities Coma Scale (CoCoS): Psychometric Properties and Clinical Usefulness in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Although comorbidities have a well-known impact on the functional recovery of patients with disorders of consciousness, including coma, vegetative state (VS), and minimally conscious state (MCS), a specific tool for their assessment in this challenging ...

Publication trends in neuroimaging of minimally conscious states

open access: yesPeerJ, 2013
We used existing and customized bibliometric and scientometric methods to analyze publication trends in neuroimaging research of minimally conscious states and describe the domain in terms of its geographic, contributor, and content features. We considered publication rates for the years 2002-2011, author interconnections, the rate at which new authors

Pupil constrictions to subjective brightness as a gateway to probe consciousness in non communicating patients

open access: yesScientific Reports
Retinal illumination primarily determines pupil size, yet extra-retinal factors like subjective brightness also influence pupillary responses. Previous works reported that in healthy individuals, stimuli whose semantic content evokes brightness cause ...

The frequency and prognostic significance of ‘new’ behavioural signs in patients with chronic impaired consciousness

open access: yesНеврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика
One of the challenges encountered during the diagnostic assessment of patients with chronic disorders of consciousness (DOC) is determining the prognosis for a return to higher levels of consciousness.

Resting state networks and consciousness.Alterations of multiple resting state network connectivity in physiological, pharmacological and pathological consciousness states.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2012
In order to better understand the functional contribution of resting state activity to conscious cognition, we aimed to review increases and decreases in fMRI functional connectivity under physiological (sleep), pharmacological (anesthesia) and ...

Characterization of responders to transcranial direct current stimulation in disorders of consciousness: A retrospective study of 8 clinical trials

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics
The treatment for patients with disorders of consciousness challenges researchers and clinicians. The stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may enhance behavioral responsiveness of a ...
