For nearly two decades, scientists have explored the prevalence of “cognitive motor dissociation,” a condition where patients are unresponsive to bedside cognitive tests but show evidence of ...

A severe brain injury can leave patients unresponsive to stimuli, but they may be more aware than we realize. A new study of brain activity has shown that up to a quarter of unresponsive patients may ...

A landmark study from neurologists at Columbia University has described a new method to detect signs of consciousness in unresponsive brain-injured patients using a simple EEG scan. The research also ...

NEW YORK – A standard brain scanning technique is showing promise for helping doctors distinguish between patients in a vegetative state and those with hidden signs of consciousness. A study released ...

NEW YORK, NY (Aug. 14, 2023)--Columbia researchers have identified brain injuries that may underlie hidden consciousness, a puzzling phenomenon in which brain-injured patients are unable to respond to ...

Several studies in the past decade have revealed that up to a quarter of unresponsive patients with recent brain injuries may possess a degree of consciousness that's normally hidden from their ...

Several studies in the past decade have revealed that up to a quarter of unresponsive patients with recent brain injuries may possess a degree of consciousness that ...

A study published this week could help doctors to identify patients with brain injuries, in seemingly unresponsive states, who are more likely to recover. In the study, published in the journal Brain ...

Scientists have discovered a hidden sign of consciousness in comatose patients that shows they can hear and understand the world around them. The study found bursts of organized, fast frequencies ...

Researchers have identified brain circuits that, when injured, make conscious patients with acute brain injury appear unresponsive, a phenomenon known as hidden consciousness. Columbia researchers ...
