DOI: 10.1002/ana.26614
Abstract: This study aimed at probing covert language processing in patients with disorders of consciousness. An auditory paradigm contrasting words to pronounceable pseudowords was designed, while recording bedside electroencephalogram and computing the two main correlates of… 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/s10072-020-04394-6
Abstract: Objectives Caregivers of patients diagnosed with disorders of consciousness (DoCs) play a pivotal role in the care pathway of these patients. Due to the high costs of care, among other symptoms and disorders previously described… 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.

DOI: 10.1007/s12264-019-00369-6
Abstract: Severe brain injury can lead to acute or chronic disorders of consciousness (DOC), and the latter represents a more critical challenge in diagnosis and management. For most chronic unconsciousness survivors with preserved sleepwake cycles, including… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bandc.2018.11.007
Abstract: Background: Functional connectivity (fcMRI) analyses of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data revealed substantial differences between states of consciousness. The underlying cause‐effect linkage, however, remains unknown to the present day. The aim of… read more here.
