The scientific impact of this seminal evidence has generated a schism between neuroscience and the clinical criteria defining consciousness and responsiveness. Brain neuroimaging has documented residual responsiveness in the vegetative state. Topics considered include the mechanisms and measures of consciousness perfusional, metabolic, and fMRI markers of responsiveness responsiveness to pain the role of brain–computer interface techniques electrophysiology cortical excitability autonomic responsiveness the natural history of vegetative and minimally conscious states and prediction of outcome. This book provides up-to-date information on all aspects of brain function and responsiveness in patients with severe disorders of consciousness.
Aims to help bridge the gap between neuroscience and clinical routine.Documents the latest neuroscientific findings.
