Animal-assisted therapy for patients in a minimally conscious state: A randomized two treatment multi-period crossover trial. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 OBJECTIVE:To investigate if animal-assisted therapy (AAT) leads to higher consciousness in patients in a minimally conscious state during a therapy session, measured via behavioral reactions, heart rate and heart rate variability. METHODS:In a randomized

Sleep in the Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome and Minimally Conscious State [PDF]
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2013 The goal of our study was to investigate different aspects of sleep, namely the sleep-wake cycle and sleep stages, in the vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS), and minimally conscious state (MCS). A 24-h polysomnography was performed in 20 patients who were in a UWS (n=10) or in a MCS (n=10) because of brain injury. The data were

Neurophysiological Indicators of Residual Cognitive Capacity in the Minimally Conscious State [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 2015 Background. The diagnostic usefulness of electrophysiological methods in assessing disorders of consciousness (DoC) remains to be established on an individual patient level, and there is need to determine what constitutes robust experimental paradigm to ...

Functional Evaluation of Awareness in Vegetative and Minimally Conscious State. [PDF]
Open Neuroimag J, 2017 Objective:The aim of this study was to assess differences in brain activation in a large sample of Vegetative State (VS) and Minimally Conscious State (MCS) patients, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).Methods:We studied 50 patients four to seven months after brain injury.

Single unit activities recorded in the thalamus and the overlying parietal cortex of subjects affected by disorders of consciousness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The lack of direct neurophysiological recordings from the thalamus and the cortex hampers our understanding of vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome and minimally conscious state in humans.

The Minimally Conscious State [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 2007 Limited epidemiologic data undermine the identification of patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS) and needed health policy analysis. Based on the natural history of disorders of consciousness and the evolution of MCS, we propose 2 models to characterize MCS epidemiology: a severity model to integrate diagnostic and severity of injury codes, such

Statistical learning in patients in the minimally conscious state [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2022 Abstract When listening to speech, cortical activity can track mentally constructed linguistic units such as words, phrases, and sentences. Recent studies have also shown that the neural responses to mentally constructed linguistic units can predict the outcome of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). In healthy individuals,
