Cerebral Neurovascular Networks May Serve as Potential Targets for Identifying Disorders of Consciousness: A Synchronous Electroencephalography and Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study. [PDF]

MedComm (2020)
Simultaneous EEG‐fNIRS recorded resting‐state activity in DoC patients. Neurovascular coupling analysis revealed elevated EEG_beta and fNIRS_HbO connectivity in PMC and Broca's regions, distinguishing MCS from UWS with high accuracy (AUC = 0.879). EEG‐fNIRS multimodal integration supports bedside monitoring.

Is oral feeding compatible with an unresponsive wakefulness syndrome? [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, 2018
The aim of the study is to explore the possibility of oral feeding in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state (UWS/VS) patients.We reviewed the clinical information of 68 UWS/VS patients (mean age 45 ± 11; range 16-79 years) searching for mention of oral feeding. UWS/VS diagnosis was made after repeated behavioural assessments using the Coma

[The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: Dutch perspectives]. [PDF]

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2016
The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS), formerly known as the vegetative state, is one of the most dramatic outcomes of acquired brain injury. Patients with UWS open their eyes spontaneously but demonstrate only reflexive behavior; there are no signs of consciousness.

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.

Development of a simple score to predict outcome for unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. [PDF]

Crit Care, 2014
Abstract Introduction Accurate assessment of prognosis for patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS; formerly vegetative state) may help clinicians and families guide the type and intensity of therapy; however, there is no suitable and accurate means to predict the outcome so far.

Patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome respond to the pain cries of other people [PDF]

Neurology, 2013
Recent publications show that using imagery instructions, brain activation patterns indicating consciousness can be found in approximately 10% of patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS; previously called vegetative state). It is possible, however, that patients who cannot follow instructions (because of limited memory/attention capacities,

Detecting Brain Activity Following a Verbal Command in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
BackgroundThe accurate assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) is a challenge to most experienced clinicians. As a potential clinical tool, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) could detect residual awareness without the need

Conscious processing of global and local auditory irregularities causes differentiated heartbeat-evoked responses

eLife, 2023
Recent research suggests that brain-heart interactions are associated with perceptual and self-consciousness. In this line, the neural responses to visceral inputs have been hypothesized to play a leading role in shaping our subjective experience.

Dynamic Patterns of Global Brain Communication Differentiate Conscious From Unconscious Patients After Severe Brain Injury

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021
The neurophysiology of the subjective sensation of being conscious is elusive; therefore, it remains controversial how consciousness can be recognized in patients who are not responsive but seemingly awake.

Detecting passive and active response in patients with behaviourally diagnosed unresponsive wakefulness syndrome

Neuroscience Research, 2023
The diagnosis of unresponsive wakefulness syndrome depends mostly on the motor response following verbal commands. However, there is a potential for misdiagnosis in patients who understand verbal commands (passive response) but cannot perform voluntary movements (active response).
