This is different from patients diagnosed with Minimally Conscious state (MCS), who can have intermittent awareness. In both states, there is a severe impairment of consciousness; these disorders are referred to as disorders of consciousness (DOC) and if the state is prolonged, pDOC. There is growing evidence that some patients who are behaviourally in VS/UWS can show neural activation to environmental stimuli and that this response can be detected using functional brain imaging (fMRI/PET) and electroencephalography (EEG). Recently, it has also been suggested that a more reliable detection of brain responsiveness and hence a more reliable differentiation between VS/UWS and MCS requires person-centred and person-specific stimuli, such as the subject's own name stimulus. In this study we obtained event related potential data (ERP) from 12 healthy subjects and 16 patients in pDOC, five of whom were in the VS/UWS and 11 in the Minimally Conscious State (MCS). We used as the ERP stimuli the subjects' own name, others' names and reversed other names. We performed a sensor level analysis using Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) software. Using this paradigm in 4 DOC patients (3 in MCS, and 1 in VS/UWS) we detected a statistically significant difference in EEG response to their own name versus other peoples' names with ERP latencies (~300 ms and ~700 ms post stimuli). Some of these differences were similar to those found in a control group of healthy subjects. This study shows the feasibility of using self-relevant stimuli such as a subject's own name for assessment of brain function in pDOC patients. This neurophysiological test is suitable for bed-side/hospital based assessment of pDOC patients. As it does not require sophisticated scanning equipment it can feasibly be used within a hospital or care setting to help professionals tailor medical and psycho-social management for patients.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.8918202981106265,"endowment":3.8918202981106265,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"30013914","pmcid":"PMC6044184","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2802060972","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)","grant_id":"RP-2015-06-012","title":null},{"funder_name":"Wellcome Trust","grant_id":"unidentified","title":"unidentified"},{"funder_name":"UCLH Biomedical Research Centre","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":3,"fwci":2.6985,"citation_percentile":0.90455284,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2019,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":10},{"year":2021,"count":7},{"year":2022,"count":7},{"year":2023,"count":12},{"year":2024,"count":6},{"year":2025,"count":2},{"year":2026,"count":3}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213158218301360/pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213158218301360/pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S2213158218301360?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S2213158218301360?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2018.04.027","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30013914","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://europepmc.org/pmc/articles/PMC6044184","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/6044184","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://doaj.org/article/cb14d609b2334520b5ed56373503eab1","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10047629/","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC6044184","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC6044184?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2018.04.027","host_type":""},{"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2018.04.027","host_type":""},{"url":"https://discovery-pp.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10047629/","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Traumatic Brain Injury Research","Functional Brain Connectivity Studies","Psychosomatic Disorders and Their Treatments","03 medical and health sciences","0302 clinical medicine","Adult","Brain","Consciousness Disorders","Electroencephalography","Evoked Potentials, Auditory","Feasibility Studies","Female","Humans","Male","Names"],"mesh_terms":["Adult","Brain","Consciousness Disorders","Electroencephalography","Evoked Potentials, Auditory","Feasibility Studies","Female","Humans","Male","Names"],"keywords":["Minimally conscious state","Persistent vegetative state","Wakefulness","Electroencephalography","Stimulus (psychology)","Consciousness","Psychology","Statistical parametric mapping","Level of consciousness","Event-related potential","Audiology","Brain activity and meditation","Neural correlates of consciousness","Consciousness Disorders","Neuroscience","Cognitive psychology","Developmental psychology","Medicine","Cognition","Magnetic resonance imaging","Adult","Male","Computer applications to medicine.
