Auditory processing in the vegetative state.
H(2)(15)O-PET was used to investigate changes in regional cerebral blood flow in response to auditory stimulation in patients in the vegetative state. Five patients in a vegetative state of hypoxic origin were compared with 18 age-matched controls. In addition, the cerebral metabolism of these patients and 53 age-matched controls was studied using [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose. In control subjects,...

to make judgments about awareness or consciousness based on these results; however, it is clear that she not only perceived visual stimuli, but also processed them to recognise content that was not based on primary image attributes such as colour, brightness, size, or movement. Further studies may more closely correlate functional imaging with behavioural assessment, electrophysiological findin...
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 کاملAuditory Lateralization Ability in Children with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. Methods: Participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 dB HL bilaterally a...
متن کاملEmotional Processing of Personally Familiar Faces in the Vegetative State
BACKGROUND The Vegetative State (VS) is a severe disorder of consciousness in which patients are awake but display no signs of awareness. Yet, recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have demonstrated evidence for covert awareness in VS patients by recording specific brain activations during a cognitive task. However, the possible existence of incommunicable subjective emoti...
