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.

Minimally conscious state plus versus minus: Likelihood of emergence and long-term functional independence. [PDF]

Ann Clin Transl Neurol
Severe brain injuries can result in disorders of consciousness, such as the Minimally Conscious State (MCS), where individuals display intermittent yet discernible signs of conscious awareness.

Whole-brain glucose metabolic pattern differentiates minimally conscious state from unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
The patient being minimally conscious state (MCS) may benefit from wake‐up interventions aimed at improving quality of life and have a higher probability of recovering higher level of consciousness compared to patients with the unresponsive wakefulness ...

Animal presence modulates frontal brain activity of patients in a minimally conscious state: A pilot study [PDF]

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2021
Integrating animals into therapy is applied increasingly in patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS). This pilot study investigates the effect of animal presence on frontal brain activity in MCS patients compared to healthy subjects.

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 ...

Auditory localization should be considered as a sign of minimally conscious state based on multimodal findings. [PDF]

Brain Commun, 2020
Auditory localization (i.e. turning the head and/or the eyes towards an auditory stimulus) is often part of the clinical evaluation of patients recovering from coma.

The EEG complexity, information integration and brain network changes in minimally conscious state patients during general anesthesia

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2023
Objective. General anesthesia (GA) can induce reversible loss of consciousness. Nonetheless, the electroencephalography (EEG) characteristics of patients with minimally consciousness state (MCS) during GA are seldom observed. Approach.

Virtual Reality Based Cognitive Rehabilitation in Minimally Conscious State: A Case Report with EEG Findings and Systematic Literature Review. [PDF]

Brain Sci, 2020
Chronic disorders of consciousness cause a total or partial and fluctuating unawareness of the surrounding environment. Virtual reality (VR) can be useful as a diagnostic and/or a neurorehabilitation tool, and its effects can be monitored by means of ...

Brain Metabolism but Not Gray Matter Volume Underlies the Presence of Language Function in the Minimally Conscious State (MCS): MCS+ Versus MCS− Neuroimaging Differences [PDF]

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2020
Background. The minimally conscious state (MCS) is subcategorized into MCS− and MCS+, depending on the absence or presence, respectively, of high-level behavioral responses such as command-following. Objective.
