TL;DR: It is shown that bilateral deep brain electrical stimulation of the central thalamus modulates behavioural responsiveness in a patient who remained in MCS for 6 yr followingtraumatic brain injury before the intervention, providing evidence that DBS can promote significant late functional recovery from severe traumatic brain injury.

TL;DR: To examine the nature and precision of temporal coding, individual responses elicited by each set of stimuli were compared in terms of two families of metrics, which provided a possible mechanism for the simultaneous representation of multiple stimulus attributes in one spike train.

TL;DR: Direct proof was found that modulation at one frequency modifies the response at other frequencies, and this implied that stimulus energy at one temporal frequency could affect the response amplitude and phase shift at another temporal frequency.

TL;DR: The mathematical basis of a new approach to the analysis of temporal coding is the construction of several families of novel distances (metrics) between neuronal impulse trains that formalize physiologically based hypotheses for those aspects of the firing pattern that might be stimulus dependent and make essential use of the point-process nature of neural discharges.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new approach to the analysis of temporal coding, which does not attempt to embed impulse trains in a vector space, and does not assume a Euclidean notion of distance.
