Recently, neuroimaging technologies have been developed as important methods for
assessing the brain condition of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC). Among …

Severe brain injury may cause disruption of neural networks that sustain arousal and
awareness, the two essential components of consciousness. Despite the potentially …

Abstract See Schiff (doi: 10.1093/awx209) for a scientific commentary on this article. Patients
with acute severe traumatic brain injury may recover consciousness before self-expression …

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 …

Recent advances in functional neuroimaging have demonstrated novel potential for
informing diagnosis and prognosis in the unresponsive wakeful syndrome and minimally …

Background The decision to extubate brain-injured patients with residual impaired
consciousness holds a high degree of uncertainty of success. The authors developed a …

Previous studies have suggested that disorders of consciousness (DOC) after severe brain
injury may result from disconnections of the thalamo‐cortical system. However, thalamo …

Objective We here aimed at characterizing heart–brain interactions in patients with disorders
of consciousness. We tested how this information impacts data‐driven classification …

Decoding the contents of consciousness from brain activity is one of the most challenging
frontiers of cognitive neuroscience. The ability to interpret mental content without recourse to …

The use of cognitive evoked potentials in EEG is now part of the routine evaluation of non-
communicating patients with disorders of consciousness in several specialized medical …
