Substantial progress has been made over the past two decades in detecting, predicting and
promoting recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) …

We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

Sleep plays an important role in maintaining neuronal circuitry, signalling and helps
maintain overall health and wellbeing. Sleep deprivation (SD) disturbs the circadian …

Loss of consciousness is associated with the disruption of long-range thalamocortical and
corticocortical brain communication. We tested the hypothesis that deep brain stimulation …

Converging evidence indicates that impairments in executive function and information-
processing speed limit quality of life and social reentry after moderate-to-severe traumatic …

Recent breakthroughs in neurobiology indicate that the time is ripe to understand how
cellular-level mechanisms are related to conscious experience. Here, we highlight the …

Functional MRI and electrophysiology studies suggest that consciousness depends on large-
scale thalamocortical and corticocortical interactions. However, it is unclear how neurons in …

There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

The management of patients with severe brain injuries and prolonged disorders of
consciousness raises important issues particularly with respect to their therapeutic options …

Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …
