From unresponsive wakefulness to minimally conscious PLUS and functional locked-in syndromes: recent advances in our understanding of disorders of consciousness (2011, methodology): “The neurological community at present has no diagnostic category for patients showing only signs of consciousness or communication on paraclinical fMRI or evoked potential studies such as the ones discussed above [ 19 , 59].”

Recovery of cortical effective connectivity and recovery of consciousness in vegetative patients (2012, unknown): “…important be- cause the capacity of brain-injured patients to interact with the external environment may be impeded by lesions of sensory/ motor pathways and cortices, by difficulties in language compre- hension (Majerus et al., 2009) and may fluctuate significantly over time (Monti et al., 2010b).”
Signature of consciousness in the dynamics of resting-state brain activity (2015, background): “Although a small proportion of VS patients show a high degree of residual cognitive activity (14, 15), this is unlikely to be the case during general anesthesia, suggesting that complex functional connectivity patterns can also arise purely as the result of a semirandom circulation of spontaneous ne”
