p24: minimally conscious state improvements with thalamic ventralis intermedius nucleus stimulation after severe traumatic brain injury
methods of modulating brain neural plasticity, improving memory and learning, improving recovery from traumatic brain injury, preventing epilepsy, treating memory disorders, and treating persistent impairment of consciousness in humans and animals by nerve stimulation are provided. widespread loss of cerebral connectivity is assumed to underlie the failure of brain mechanisms that support commu...
full textCentral thalamic deep brain stimulation for support of forebrain arousal regulation in the minimally conscious state.
This chapter considers the use of central thalamic deep brain stimulation (CT/DBS) to support arousal regulation mechanisms in the minimally conscious state (MCS). CT/DBS for selected patients in a MCS is first placed in the historical context of prior efforts to use thalamic electrical brain stimulation to treat the unconscious clinical conditions of coma and vegetative state. These previous s...
full textNucleus ventralis oralis deep brain stimulation in postanoxic dystonia.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus, zona incerta, subthalamic nucleus, and pallidum has been used for the treatment of dystonia. Reports on thalamic DBS for dystonia were published as early as 1977. Thalamic stimulation may increase the dystonic symptoms, especially when the Vim nucleus is the target of the stimulation. However, targeting the thalamus was abandoned because several pub...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To study cerebral response in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) task of speech perception in a sample of patients in vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) after traumatic brain injury. METHODS Three patients in VS, four patients in MCS and 19 healthy volunteers were enrolled for the study. All subjects underwent an fMRI task of passive listen...
full textSevere cerebral vasospasm after traumatic brain injury.
Severe traumatic brain injury is associated with both acute and delayed neuro- logical injury. Cerebral vasospasm is commonly associated with delayed neurological decline in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. However, the role played by vasospasm in traumatic brain injury is less clear. Vasospasm occurs earlier, for a shorter duration, and often without significant neurological conseq...
