General anesthesia, sleep, and coma
TL;DR: This review discusses the clinical and neurophysiological features of general anesthesia and their relationships to sleep and coma, focusing on the neural mechanisms of unconsciousness induced by selected intravenous anesthetic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain function in coma, vegetative state, and related disorders
TL;DR: The nosological criteria and functional neuroanatomical basis for brain death, coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state, and the locked-in state are reviewed.

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.
Journal Article
General anesthesia, sleep and coma
TL;DR: A review of the clinical and neurophysiological features of general anesthesia and their relationship to sleep and coma is presented in this article, focusing on the neural mechanisms of unconsciousness induced by selected intravenous anesthetic drugs.
