Altered brain functional connectivity in vegetative state and minimally conscious state

ObjectivesThe pathological mechanism for a disorder of consciousness (DoC) is still not fully understood. Based on traditional behavioral scales, there is a high rate of misdiagnosis for subtypes of DoC. We aimed to explore whether topological characterization may explain the pathological mechanisms of DoC and be effective in diagnosing the subtypes of DoC.MethodsUsing resting-state functional […]
