Brain response to one's own name in vegetative state, minimally conscious state, and locked-in syndrome.
BACKGROUND A major challenge in the management of severely brain-injured patients with altered states of consciousness is to estimate their residual perception of the environment. OBJECTIVE To investigate the integrity of detection of one's own name in patients in a behaviorally well-documented vegetative state (VS), patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS), and patients with locked-in s...

Conclusions: These results suggest that partially preserved semantic processing could be observed in noncommunicative brain-damaged patients, notably for the detection of salient stimuli, such as the subject’s own name. This function seems delayed in MCS and (if present) in VS patients. More important, a P3 response does not necessarily reflect conscious perception and cannot be used to differe...
متن کاملBrain function in brain death, coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state and locked-in syndrome
We review the nosological criteria and functional neuroanatomical basis for brain death, coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state and the locked-in state. Functional neuroimaging is providing new insights into cerebral activity in patients with severe brain damage. Measurements of cerebral metabolism and brain activations in response to sensory stimuli using positron emission tomograph...
متن کاملCerebral Function in Coma, Vegetative State, Minimally Conscious State, Locked-in Syndrome, and Brain Death
Progress in intensive care has increased the number of patients who survive severe acute brain injury. The majority of these patients recover from their coma within the first days after the insult, others will take more time and go through different stages before fully or partially recovering awareness (e.g., minimally conscious state, vegetative state) or will permanently lose all brain functi...
متن کاملCerebral response to patient's own name in the vegetative and minimally conscious states.
BACKGROUND A challenge in the management of severely brain-damaged patients with altered states of consciousness is the differential diagnosis between the vegetative state (VS) and the minimally conscious state (MCS), especially for the gray zone separating these clinical entities. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the differences in brain activation in response to presentation of the patient's own name ...
