Sleep-like bistability, loss of causality and complexity in the brain of Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome patients

2018-01-04

Abstract excerpt

Unresponsiveness Wakefulness Syndrome (UWS) patients may retain intact portions of the thalamocortical system that are spontaneously active and responsive to sensory stimuli. In these patients, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation combined with electroencephalography (TMS/EEG) also reveals preserved cortical reactivity, but in most cases, the residual thalamocortical circuits fail to engage complex causal interaction...
