Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Homeostatic plasticity in patients with disorders of consciousness detected by combined stimulation: a study protocol

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundNon-invasive neuromodulation (NIN) techniques have been widely utilized in treating patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC), but their therapeutic effects have been inconsistent.

Event related potentials elicited by violations of auditory regularities in patients with impaired consciousness. [PDF]

, 2012
International audienceImproving our ability to detect conscious processing in non communicating patients remains a major goal of clinical cognitive neurosciences. In this perspective, several functional brain imaging tools are currently under development.

Heart Rate Variability Response to Therapist‐Selected Music as a Diagnostic Biomarker for Disorders of Consciousness

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
Music modulates autonomic pathways to alter heart rate variability (HRV), with therapist‐selected music (TSM) showing the strongest association with consciousness levels in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC). ABSTRACT Music, as an auditory stimulus, has long been recognized for its ability to evoke heart rate variability (HRV) responses. In

Loss of consciousness is related to hyper-1 correlated gamma-band activity in anesthetized macaques and sleeping humans [PDF]

, 2017
Loss of consciousness can result from a wide range of causes, including natural sleep and pharmacologically induced anesthesia. Important insights might thus come from identifying neuronal mechanisms of loss and re-emergence of consciousness independent ...

Reflections on Consciousness in Intensive Care

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evaluating consciousness in intensive care is pivotal to relieving suffering with analgesic or sedative drugs and in prognosis and diagnoses. The usual clinical perspective is to equate consciousness with responsiveness, assuming functional motor responses and sympathetic activity of the patient. Clinical diagnoses of coma may be wrong in more

Multimodal neuroimaging in patients with disorders of consciousness showing "functional hemispherectomy". [PDF]

, 2011
Beside behavioral assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness, neuroimaging modalities may offer objective paraclinical markers important for diagnosis and prognosis.
