Functional connectivity substrates for tDCS response in Minimally Conscious State patients
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique recently employed in disorders of consciousness, and determining a transitory recovery of signs of consciousness in almost half of minimally conscious state (MCS) patients ...

[Vegetative or minimally conscious state?]. [PDF]
Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2010 We describe the clinical course of a 51-year-old woman in a vegetative state and of a 63-year-old woman in a minimally conscious state. The difference between these two states is an important one, as clinical course, prognosis and medical-ethical considerations of both are different. In practice it is difficult to distinguish between a vegetative state

Changes in cerebral metabolism in patients with a minimally conscious state responding to zolpidem
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Background: Zolpidem, a short-acting nonbenzodiazepine GABA agonist hypnotic, has been shown to induce paradoxical responses in some patients with disorders of consciousness, leading to recovery of arousal and cognitive abilities.
