Unveiling clouded consciousness: broad-band EEG slowing tracks recovery from Post-Traumatic Confusional State

Key Points

• To explore the relationship between broadband EEG slowing and recovery mechanisms in post-traumatic confusional state.
• Observed EEG activity patterns in patients with post-traumatic confusional state.
• Analyzed both periodic and aperiodic EEG activities.
• Monitored changes in spectral organization over time.
• Broadband EEG slowing indicates a specific neurophysiological response in post-traumatic confusional state.
• Spectral reorganization over time correlates with recovery from cognitive impairment.
• Findings suggest potential targets for rehabilitation strategies.
