Spontaneous slow waves index multiple dimensions of recovery in Disorders of Consciousness

This study shows that spontaneous slow waves in Disorders of Consciousness patients correlate with recovery potential and residual awareness, challenging the view of slow waves as merely a marker of impaired consciousness.

The blueprint of human functional architecture shifts from cognition to anatomy during perturbations of consciousness

This study shows that cognitive co-activation dominates fMRI synchrony in the awake brain but is replaced by anatomical and molecular constraints during consciousness perturbations.

Disrupted hierarchical organization in disorders of consciousness revealed by fluctuation-dissipation deviations

This paper identifies disrupted hierarchical organization in disorders of consciousness using fluctuation-dissipation theorem deviations from fMRI data.

Dynamics of EEG Microstates Change Across the Spectrum of Disorders of Consciousness

This study analyzes EEG microstate dynamics in disorders of consciousness to identify differences in brain activity patterns between patients and healthy controls.

Personalized models of Disorders of Consciousness revealcomplementary roles of connectivity and local parameters in diagnosis and prognosis

This study develops a personalized fMRI analysis pipeline for disorders of consciousness, identifying connectivity and local parameters as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis.

Whole-brain modelling supports the use of serotonergic psychedelics for the treatment of disorders of consciousness

The paper uses whole-brain models to simulate the effects of serotonergic psychedelics on disorders of consciousness, showing they can shift brain dynamics toward conscious states.

Dynamic connectivity profiles characteristic of conscious states are associated with enhanced conscious processing of external stimuli

The paper shows that specific brain connectivity patterns during wakefulness enhance conscious processing of external stimuli, with mutual influence between brain dynamics and perception.
