The past 15years have provided an unprecedented collection of discoveries that bear upon
our scientific understanding of recovery of consciousness in the human brain following …

Background: Over the last two decades, there has been a considerable increase in
knowledge of brain function in patients with disorders of consciousness following a coma …

Despite advances in resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging investigations,
clinicians remain with the challenge of how to implement this paradigm on an individualized …

Objective: Functional connectivity in the default mode network (DMN) is known to be
reduced in patients with disorders of consciousness, to a different extent depending on their …

Introduction: Action of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) on the cerebral
cortex is responsible for achievement of consciousness. In this study, we attempted to …

Recovery of consciousness has been associated with connectivity in the frontal cortex and
parietal regions modulated by the thalamus. To examine this model and to relate alterations …

The intrinsic connectivity of the default mode network has been associated with the level of
consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. Especially medial parietal regions are …

Diagnosis of patients with a disorder of consciousness is very challenging. Previous studies
investigating resting state networks demonstrate that 2 main features of the so-called default …

Aim Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a potential neuromodulatory therapy that enhances
recovery from disorders of consciousness, especially minimally conscious state (MCS). This …

Minimal or inconsistent behavioral responses to command make it challenging to accurately
diagnose the level of awareness of a patient with a Disorder of consciousness (DOC). By …
