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.

Neurophysiological and behavioural responses to music therapy in vegetative and minimally conscious states [PDF]
Assessment of awareness for those with disorders of consciousness (DOC) is a challenging undertaking, due to the complex presentation of the population, where misdiagnosis rates remain high.

fMRI for vegetative and minimally conscious states [PDF]
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.

Basler Vegetative State Assessment - BAVESTA : Validierung eines neu entwickelten, interprofessionellen Verlaufsbeobachtungsinstruments für Menschen mit schweren Bewusstseinsstörungen nach erworbenen Hirnverletzungen [PDF]
Das Wachkoma nach erworbener Hirnschädigung stellt, sofern nicht eine chronische neurodegenerative Erkrankung zugrunde liegt, ein postkomatöses Zustandsbild dar. Es wird zu den schweren Bewusstseinsstörungen gezählt.

Electrophysiological correlates of behavioural changes in vigilance in vegetative state and minimally conscious state. [PDF]
peer reviewedThe existence of normal sleep in patients in a vegetative state is still a matter of debate. Previous electrophysiological sleep studies in patients with disorders of consciousness did not differentiate patients in a vegetative state from ...

Spectral signatures of reorganised brain networks in disorders of consciousness [PDF]
Theoretical advances in the science of consciousness have proposed that it is concomitant with balanced cortical integration and differentiation, enabled by efficient networks of information transfer across multiple scales. Here, we apply graph theory to
