Functional connectivity substrates for tDCS response in Minimally Conscious State patients [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique recently employed in disorders of consciousness, and determining a transitory recovery of signs of consciousness in almost half of minimally conscious state (MCS) patients ...

Mycoplasma-induced minimally conscious state. [PDF]
Springerplus, 2016 Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) frequently causes community-acquired respiratory tract infection and often presents as atypical pneumonia. Following airborne infection and a long incubation period, affected patients mostly suffer from mild or even asymptomatic and self-limiting disease. In particular in school-aged children, M.

Prevalence of the Minimally Conscious State Among Institutionalized Patients in the Netherlands: A Nationwide Study. [PDF]
Neurology, 2023 Background and Objectives The minimally conscious state (MCS) is a prolonged disorder of consciousness (pDoC) and one of the most severe outcomes of acquired brain injury. Prevalence data are scarce.

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.
