Advances in the neurorehabilitation of severe disorder of consciousness

Annali dell'Istituto Superiore di Sanità, 2014
Introduction. The paper describes the evolution of knowledge concerning severe brain injury which determines the Vegetative State/Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome. Background. The term Vegetative State was proposed by Jennet and Plum in 1972.

Residual Language Abilities Correlate With Diagnosis and Prognosis in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
The newly developed simple phrase sequences combined with neural frequency tagging were used to explore a language paradigm that was in a critical state and reflected the process of consciousness in DoC. The new simplified language assessment had the potential to detect residual language ability in DoC patients and could potentially be used to detect ...

Hitting and missing on consciousness

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Disturbances of conscious experience are central features of many psychiatric and mental health disorders. Experimental studies of conscious perception are therefore increasingly cited in clinical and translational work under the assumption that they identify neural mechanisms specific to subjective experience.

Intrinsic pH chemosensitivity of acutely dissociated medullary serotonergic and retrotrapezoid neurones

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Central respiratory chemoreceptors (CRCs) are critical for maintaining normal systemic levels of pH and PCO2. A CRC must respond to pH via intrinsic mechanisms. Here we quantified intrinsic chemosensitivity of medullary 5‐HT neurones and retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) neurones using acute dissociation.

The Mind From Within: Visceral Roots of Human Cognition

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 59, 23 October 2026.
The physiological activity of visceral organs, such as the heart, the lungs, and the gut, is surprisingly linked to many sophisticated mental operations, such as remembering the past, being aware of ourselves, making choices, and forging social bonds.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined With Median Nerve Electrical Stimulation for Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Combining top‐down rTMS over the left DLPFC with bottom‐up right median nerve stimulation markedly outperformed either modality alone, awakening 93% of patients with severe TBI by week 4 and improving EEG, hemodynamics, and GCS—supporting dual‐pathway neuromodulation as a safe, high‐efficacy strategy for coma recovery.

cEEG and rEEG detection rates of prognostic indicators in cardiac arrest patients: a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionAccurate neuroprognostication following cardiac arrest is essential for clinical decision-making; however, the comparative diagnostic performance of continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) and routine electroencephalography (rEEG) remains ...
