Eye gaze and conscious processing in severely brain - injured patients
Niedenthal et al. discuss the importance of eye gaze in embodied simulation and, more globally, in the processing of emotional visual stimulation (such as facial expression). In this commentary, we illustrate the relationship between oriented eye movements, consciousness, and emotion by using the case of severely brain-injured patients recovering from coma (i.e., vegetative and minimally conscious
متن کاملAuditory processing in severely brain injured patients: differences between the minimally conscious state and the persistent vegetative state.
BACKGROUND The minimally conscious state (MCS) is a recently defined clinical condition; it differs from the persistent vegetative state (PVS) by the presence of inconsistent, but clearly discernible, behavioral evidence of consciousness. OBJECTIVE To study auditory processing among patients who are in an MCS, patients who are in a PVS, and healthy control subjects. METHODS By means of (15)...
متن کاملCerebral processing of auditory and noxious stimuli in severely brain injured patients: differences between VS and MCS.
We review cerebral processing of auditory and noxious stimuli in minimally conscious state (MCS) and vegetative state (VS) patients. In contrast with limited brain activation found in VS patients, MCS patients show activation similar to controls in response to auditory, emotional and noxious stimuli. Despite an apparent clinical similarity between MCS and VS patients, functional imaging data sh...
متن کاملSignificance of circadian rhythms in severely brain-injured patients
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the presence of a circadian body temperature rhythm and behaviorally assessed consciousness levels in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC; i.e., vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome or minimally conscious state). METHODS In a cross-sectional study, we investigated the presence of circadian temperature rhythms across 6 t...
متن کاملMapping preserved real-world cognition in severely brain-injured patients.
Decoding the contents of consciousness from brain activity is one of most challenging frontiers of cognitive neuroscience. The ability to interpret mental content without recourse to behavior is most relevant for understanding patients who may be demonstrably conscious, but entirely unable to speak or move willfully in any way, precluding any systematic investigation of their conscious experien...
