Disorders of Consciousness (DoC) are clinical conditions following a severe acquired brain
injury (ABI) characterized by absent or reduced awareness, known as coma, Vegetative …

Introduction New guidelines regarding the diagnosis of disorders of consciousness
(DOC)(such as vegetative state and minimally conscious state) have recently been …

Objective To determine whether repeated examinations using the Coma Recovery Scale‐
Revised (CRS‐R) have an impact on diagnostic accuracy of patients with disorders of …

Prominent theories of consciousness emphasise different aspects of neurobiology, such as
the integration and diversity of information processing within the brain. Here, we combine …

Assessing residual consciousness and cognitive abilities in unresponsive patients is a major
clinical concern and a challenge for cognitive neuroscience. Although neuroimaging studies …

Background Previous studies have shown that a single Coma-Recovery Scale-Revision
(CRS-R) assessment can identify high rates of misdiagnosis by clinical consensus. The aim …

Abstract Background The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is the gold standard to
assess severely brain-injured patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (DoC) …

The clinical and fundamental exploration of patients suffering from disorders of
consciousness (DoC) is commonly used by researchers both to test some of their key …

A central question in neuroscience is how consciousness arises from the dynamic interplay
of brain structure and function. Here we decompose functional MRI signals from pathological …

Abstract Language assessment in post-comatose patients is difficult due to their limited
behavioral repertoire; yet associated language deficits might lead to an underestimation of …
