Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/acn3.70102
Abstract: In chronic disorders of consciousness (DOCs), the distinction between vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) is as crucial as it is challenging. Evoked potentials (EPs) and event‐related potentials (ERPs) are helpful,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2566
Abstract: BACKGROUND Occasionally, patients show dramatic recovery from disorders of consciousness (DOC) under intrathecal baclofen (ITB), an established treatment option for severe supraspinal spasticity. Anecdotal explanations for ITB-related recovery of cognition include modulation of afferent impulses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.23826
Abstract: Given that recent research has shown that functional connectivity is not a static phenomenon, we aim to investigate the dynamic properties of the default mode network's (DMN) connectivity in patients with disorders of consciousness. read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10548-025-01142-x
Abstract: As a response to the environment and internal signals, brain networks reorganize on a sub-second scale. To capture this reorganization in patients with disorders of consciousness and understand their residual brain activity, we investigated the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11910-019-1018-8
Abstract: Diagnostic classification of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) is based on clinician’s observation of volitional behaviours. However, patients’ caregivers often report higher levels of responsiveness with respect to those observed during the clinical assessment.… read more here.
