    Description: We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate preserved conscious awareness in a patient fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state. When asked to imagine playing tennis or moving around her home, the patient activated predicted cortical areas in a manner indistinguishable from that of healthy volunteers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Owen, Adrian M -- Coleman, Martin R -- Boly, Melanie -- Davis, Matthew H -- Laureys, Steven -- Pickard, John D -- MC_U105559847/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U105580446/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Sep 8;313(5792):1402.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge CB2 2EF, UK. adrian.owen@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16959998" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Frontoparietal cortex is involved in the explicit processing (awareness) of stimuli. Frontoparietal activation has also been found in studies of subliminal stimulus processing. We hypothesized that an impairment of top-down processes, involved in recurrent neuronal message-passing and the generation of long-latency electrophysiological responses, might provide a more reliable correlate of consciousness in severely brain-damaged patients, than frontoparietal responses. We measured effective connectivity during a mismatch negativity paradigm and found that the only significant difference between patients in a vegetative state and controls was an impairment of backward connectivity from frontal to temporal cortices. This result emphasizes the importance of top-down projections in recurrent processing that involve high-order associative cortices for conscious perception.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Boly, Melanie -- Garrido, Marta Isabel -- Gosseries, Olivia -- Bruno, Marie-Aurelie -- Boveroux, Pierre -- Schnakers, Caroline -- Massimini, Marcello -- Litvak, Vladimir -- Laureys, Steven -- Friston, Karl -- 088130/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 May 13;332(6031):858-62. doi: 10.1126/science.1202043.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Coma Science Group, Cyclotron Research Centre and Neurology Department, University of Liege and CHU Sart Tilman Hospital, 4000 Liege, Belgium. mboly@ulg.ac.be〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21566197" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: 〈p〉Adopting the framework of brain dynamics as a cornerstone of human consciousness, we determined whether dynamic signal coordination provides specific and generalizable patterns pertaining to conscious and unconscious states after brain damage. A dynamic pattern of coordinated and anticoordinated functional magnetic resonance imaging signals characterized healthy individuals and minimally conscious patients. The brains of unresponsive patients showed primarily a pattern of low interareal phase coherence mainly mediated by structural connectivity, and had smaller chances to transition between patterns. The complex pattern was further corroborated in patients with covert cognition, who could perform neuroimaging mental imagery tasks, validating this pattern’s implication in consciousness. Anesthesia increased the probability of the less complex pattern to equal levels, validating its implication in unconsciousness. Our results establish that consciousness rests on the brain’s ability to sustain rich brain dynamics and pave the way for determining specific and generalizable fingerprints of conscious and unconscious states.〈/p〉
