Outcome in Patients with Isolated Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Introduction. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major cause of death. Withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) can be initiated if there is little anticipated chance of recovery to an acceptable quality of life.

Disorders of Consciousness: Painless or Painful Conditions?—Evidence from Neuroimaging Studies
The experience of pain in disorders of consciousness is still debated. Neuroimaging studies, using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) and laser-evoked potentials ...

The neural correlates of arousal: Ventral posterolateral nucleus-global transient co-activation
Summary: Arousal and awareness are two components of consciousness whose neural mechanisms remain unclear. Spontaneous peaks of global (brain-wide) blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) signal have been found to be sensitive to changes in arousal.

Thalamic burst and tonic firing selectively indicate patients’ consciousness level and recovery
Patients with disorders of consciousness suffer from severe impairments in arousal and awareness alongside anomalous brain connections and aberrant neuronal activities. The thalamus, a crucial hub in the brain connectome, has been empirically inferred to
