Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogeneous condition that encompasses a broad
spectrum of disorders. Outcome can be highly variable, particularly in more severely injured …

Measuring neuronal activity with electrophysiological methods may be useful in detecting
neurological dysfunctions, such as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This approach may be …

Delirium, stupor and coma are common clinical states that confront clinicians in almost every
medical specialty. With appropriate diagnosis and treatment, coma can often be treated …

OBJECTIVE: A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the predictive power (odd ratio,
OR) for awakening of auditory event-related potential (ERP) components in low responsive …

Hearing one's own first name automatically elicits a robust electrophysiological response,
even in conditions of reduced consciousness like sleep. In a search for objective clues to …

Methods.: Healthy adult mice were exposed to an overpressure blast wave using a custom-
built blast chamber. The effects of blast exposure on retina and optic nerve function and …

Objectives: To determine the prognostic role of late auditory (N100) and cognitive evoked
potentials (MMN) for awakening in a cohort of comatose patients categorized by etiology …

In the last 2 decades, the minimally conscious state has been distinguished conceptually
from the vegetative state and operational criteria for these diagnoses have been published …

BACKGROUND: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive
method to induce changes in cortical neural excitability. This report presents findings from …

Electroencephalographic activity in the context of disorders of consciousness is a swiss knife
like tool that can evaluate different aspects of cognitive residual function, detect …
