Cerebral processing in the minimally conscious state
Neurology, 2004We studied a patient in a minimally conscious state using PET and cognitive evoked potentials. Cerebral metabolism was below half of normal values. Auditory stimuli with emotional valence (infant cries and the patient's own name) induced a much more widespread activation than did meaningless noise; the activation pattern was comparable with that ...

Persistent Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States
Reviews in the Neurosciences, 2009The diagnosis and management of patients with persistent vegetative (PVS) and minimally conscious (MCS) states entail powerful medical, ethical and legal debates. The recent description of the MCS highlights the crucial role of unexpected and well-documented recoveries of cognitive functions.

NEUROSTIMULATION AND THE MINIMALLY CONSCIOUS STATE
Bioethics, 2008ABSTRACTNeurostimulation to restore cognitive and physical functions is an innovative and promising technique for treating patients with severe brain injury that has resulted in a minimally conscious state (MCS). The technique may involve electrical stimulation of the central thalamus, which has extensive projections to the cerebral cortex.

The right to die in the minimally conscious state
Journal of Medical Ethics, 2010The right to die has for decades been recognised for persons in a vegetative state, but there remains controversy about ending life-sustaining medical treatment for persons in the minimally conscious state (MCS). The controversy is rooted in assumptions about the moral significance of consciousness, and the value of life for patients who are conscious ...

Ethical Aspects of Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2013The growing diffusion of life support procedures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), allows physicians to keep a person alive almost indefinitely when the person's heart has stopped beating autonomously or spontaneous breathing is precluded.

Perception of Value and the Minimally Conscious State
HEC Forum, 2015The "disability paradox" is the idea that for those who become severely disabled, their own quality of life (QoL) assessment remains at or slightly below the QoL assessments of normal controls. This is a source of skepticism regarding third-person QoL judgments of the disabled.

Clinical management of the minimally conscious state
2015The minimally conscious state (MCS) was defined as a disorder of consciousness (DoC) distinct from the vegetative state more than a decade ago. While this condition has become widely recognized, there are still no guidelines to steer the approach to assessment and treatment.
