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,

Translation and Transcultural Adaptation of the Wessex Head Injury Matrix, Italian Version: A Preliminary Report

Brain Sciences, 2021
Background: Patients who are in a coma, a vegetative state or a minimally conscious state present a clinical challenge for neurological assessment, which is a prerequisite for establishing a prognosis and planning management.

fMRI for vegetative and minimally conscious states [PDF]

BMJ, 2012
A more balanced perspective The BBC’s Panorama programme The Mind Reader: Unlocking My Voice broadcast on 13 November 2012 provided important insights into the devastating experience of patients who live in vegetative or minimally conscious states and the families who support them.

Technology-based Intervention Programs to Promote Stimulation Control and Communication in Post-coma Persons with Different Levels of Disability

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Post-coma persons in a minimally conscious state and with extensive motor impairment or emerging/emerged from such a state, but affected by lack of speech and motor impairment, tend to be passive and isolated.

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.

USE OF AN INFRA-LOW FREQUENCY EEG BIOLOGICAL FEEDBACK TECHNIQUE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH A DECREASED LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Неврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика, 2016
A protocol for EEG biological feedback (BFB) at infra-low frequencies (<0.01 Hz) corresponding to those of the brain default mode network has been devised in recent years.Objective: to evaluate the therapeutic features of an EEG BFB technique in the ...
