Abstract

The study of pathological impairments of consciousness, as they can appear in severely brain injured patients, can be particularly useful to better clarify cognitive processes and cerebral substrates which underlie consciousness. In this review, we will introduce the disorders of consciousness that can be presented by severely brain-injured patients and the behavioural scales that can be used to assess their level of consciousness. We will also discuss the difficulty to assess and detect remnant cognitive functioning in these patients.

摘要

对意识病理损伤的研究，因其可能出现在重度脑损伤患者中，对于更好地阐明意识背后的认知过程和脑基质可能特别有用。在这篇综述中，我们将介绍重度脑损伤患者可能出现的意识障碍以及可用于评估其意识水平的行为量表。我们还将讨论评估和检测这些患者残余认知功能的困难。
