Cognition in the Vegetative State

Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, 2012
Awake but not aware: This puzzling dissociation of the two central elements of consciousness defines the vegetative state.

Prognosis of the posttraumatic vegetative state

Acta Neurochirurgica, 1988

Fifty-nine regained consciousness but none of those aged over 40 became independent during the first year.

The Lancet, 1997
SIR—Adam Zeman (Sept 13, p 795) is to be congratulated on his excellent discussion of the concept of persistent vegetative state (PVS). As he points out, this concept is based on a particular model of consciousness and wakefulness that has certain shortcomings.
