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 months in children, the long-term outlook...
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. What happens in a persistent vegetative...
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 ...
Compared with this sleeping is a period during which we lose any focused awareness of being an individual, and we sink into what is generally called unconsciousness — the lack of personal awareness. This swing between waking and sleeping can be seen as the extremes within the possibilities of ...
Is vegetative state worse than coma? What is a coma? 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...
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...
