A coma, sometimes also called persistent vegetative state, is a profound or deep state of unconsciousness. Persistent vegetative state is not brain-death. An individual in a state of coma is alive but unable to move or respond to his or her environment. Can vegetative patients hear? Other ...
Thepersistent vegetative stateis “a form of eyes-open permanent unconsciousness in which the patient has periods of wakefulness and physiological sleep/wake cycles, but at no time is the patient aware of himself or herself or the environment.” If this state persists for more than 3 ...
This suggests that the profound attenuation of the 40-Hz ASSR by enflurane-N 2 0 or isoflurane may reflect unconsciousness (unresponsiveness to verbal command). Additional evidence that the attenuation of the 40-Hz ASSR reflects unconsciousness was obtained during induction of anesthesia with ...
A follow up study is reported of 100 consecutive unconscious patients admitted to an intensive care coma facility with a history of 30 days or more of unconsciousness of nontraumatic cause. Twenty recovered consciousness, all within 5 mo... L Sazbon,F Zagreba,J Ronen,... - 《Journal of Ne...
For example, Boveroux et al.13 found thalamo-cortical functional anti-correlations when studying propofol-induced unconsciousness in humans. Also in rats, anti-correlated FC between thalamus and cortex has been found46. These apparent discrepancies might indicate that the thalamo-cortical interaction ...
Yes, one can have an experience of what is considered deep unconsciousness. In waking we have a sensation of time, of being in a locality, of separateness and even isolation. But at the other end of that polarity we have a sense of timelessness and non-locality. What was a sense of ...
Literature reveals that the health effects associated with long exposure to CO ranges from the more subtle cardiovascular and neurobehavioral effects at low concentrations and at high concentration which leads to unconsciousness or to death the individual or groups of exposed people. The study aims at...

13 found thalamo-cortical functional anti-correlations when studying propofol-induced unconsciousness in humans. Also in rats, anti-correlated FC between thalamus and cortex has been found46. These apparent discrepancies might indicate that the thalamo-cortical interaction is dependent on the type and...
