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.

Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of patients discharged from the ICU in a vegetative or minimally conscious state. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Purpose A significant percentage of patients are discharged from intensive care units (ICU) with disorders of counciousness (DoC). The aim of this retrospective, case-control study was to compare patients discharged from the ICU in a vegetative state (VS)

Outcome Prediction in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome and Minimally Conscious State by Non-linear Dynamic Analysis of the EEG. [PDF]
Front Neurol, 2021 Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of non-linear dynamic analysis (NDA) of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in predicting patient outcome in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS).

Emotion processing in the minimally conscious state [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2004 As a newly described condition distinct from coma or the vegetative state, minimally conscious state (MCS) is characterised by a threshold level of consciousness, and diagnostic criteria have recently been proposed.1 In MCS, cognitively mediated behaviour occurs inconsistently, but is reproducible or sustained enough to be differentiated from reflexive

Minimally conscious state or cortically mediated state? [PDF]
Brain, 2018 Durable impairments of consciousness are currently classified in three main neurological categories: comatose state, vegetative state (also recently coined unresponsive wakefulness syndrome) and minimally conscious state. While the introduction of minimally conscious state, in 2002, was a major progress to help clinicians recognize complex non ...
