Functional neuroimaging of the vegetative state

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2008
A number of recent studies have demonstrated a role for state-of-the-art neuroimaging methods in the assessment of patients in the vegetative state and other so-called 'disorders of consciousness'. In several cases, functional MRI has been used to show that aspects of speech perception, emotional processing, language comprehension and even conscious ...

2008
Publisher Summary Persistent vegetative state (PVS) describes the patients who recovered from coma with periods of wakefulness but without any sign of self or environmental awareness. This emphasizes the dissociation between the still-viable vegetative functions (e.g., respiration, heart rate, blood pressure) and the complete loss of cognition.

PERMANENT VEGETATIVE STATE AND THE LAW

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2001
In both Scotland and England, the law in respect of the patient in permanent vegetative state was clarified by two recent cases. In England and Wales, the decision of the House of Lords in Airedale NHS Trust v Bland 1 produced the first real clarity in such cases.
