“…more alerting stimulus) to produce similar patterns of activation 41 . This requirement for a higher level of arousal is consistent with behavioral data, which shows that these patients fluctuate in their level of responsiveness 57 , and suggests an underlying inability to maintain cerebral integrative functioning.…”

Summary Normal human consciousness requires brainstem, basal forebrain, and diencephalic areas to support generalized arousal, as well as functioning thalamocortical networks to become aware of, and respond to environmental and internal stimuli. Injury to or disconnection of these interconnected systems, typically from cardiac arrest and traumatic brain injury, can result in disorders of consciousness, including coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state, and akinetic mutism. Similar brain injuries can also result in loss of motor output out of proportion to consciousness, resulting in misdiagnoses of disorders of consciousness. We review pathology and imaging studies and derive mechanistic models for each of these conditions, to aid in the assessment and prognosis of individual patients. We further suggest how such models may guide the development of target-based treatment algorithms to enhance recovery of consciousness in many of these patient.

“…Performance on experimental tests in a highly structured clinical setting might not fully predict day-to-day functioning and some studies have failed to show any association between observational assessments of the children's everyday functioning and these tests [63]. This might indicate that a neuropsychological test and an observational assessment measure two different things, both of which are important [77].…”

“…Attention is a complex cognitive process contributing to arousal, alertness, cognitive speed, working memory, and shifting and dividing attention. 3 Divided attention is the ability to respond to multiple stimuli simultaneously, 4,5 and this ability is important for real-world function.…”
