Researchers shed light on the neural networks that appear to govern human consciousness. Read More
Researchers say a new discovery about the pathways associated with consciousness contradicts conventional belief. The study reports the thalamus is not a critical part of the brain's pathway involved in wakefulness and consciousness, a finding that could help develop better methods for treating comas. Read More
According to researchers, regular use of the popular clubbing drug, GBH, can have negative effects on brain networks associated with both long term and working memory. Additionally, frequent use of the drug is associated with an increased risk of developing stress and anxiety. Read More
A new study reports only half of infants under three months of age who have bacterial meningitis show traditional symptoms of the disease, such as high fever. Read More
Zolpidem, a medication commonly prescribed for insomnia, appear to be effective in helping to restore a conscious state in some patients who were in comas or vegetative state. Read More
Researchers believe they may have pinpointed an area of the brain that plays a role in maintaining human consciousness. Read More
Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive technique that could be used to treat patients with consciousness disorders. Read More
A new study reports fMRI brain scans may help doctors to predict which of their patients in a coma will regain consciousness. Read More
A new report offers deeper understanding of how children most frequently suffer head injuries. Read More
Using neuroimaging techniques, researchers find new clues as to what happens to the brain as it slips into unconsciousness. Read More
Researchers observe brain activity beyond a flat line EEG in human patients with extreme deep hypoxic comas. Read More
The Coma Science Group (CRCyclotron, University of Liège /Liège University Hospital), led by Dr Steven Laureys, has developed, along with... Read More
