Key result
Functional neuroimaging and electrophysiology reveal residual cortical processing in non-communicative patients, identifying functional locked-in syndrome as a recovery phase of vegetative state.

May support neuroimaging to detect covert processing in vegetative patients; leaves open prognostic and management implications.
Recently, functional neuroimaging and advanced electrophysiology studies showed residual cortical processing in the absence of behavioural signs of consciousness in some non-communicative, severely...
