Neuroimaging studies of psychedelics have advanced our understanding of hierarchical
brain organization and the mechanisms underlying their subjective and therapeutic effects …

Each neuroimaging technique conveys advantages and pitfalls to assess consciousness.
We recommend a multimodal approach in which complementary techniques provide …

Spontaneous transient states were recently identified by functional magnetic resonance
imaging and magnetoencephalography in healthy subjects. They organize and coordinate …

Background Patients in minimally conscious state (MCS) exist measurable evidence of

In functional MRI (fMRI), dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) typically refers to fluctuations
in measured functional connectivity on a time scale of seconds. This perspective piece …

Background It is not currently possible to predict which patients will develop chronic
disorders of consciousness (DoC) after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although the …

Severe traumatic brain injury can lead to transient or even chronic disorder of
consciousness. To increase diagnosis and prognosis accuracy of disorder of …

Diagnoses in patients with disorders of consciousness are prone to misdiagnosis; thus,
