- Abstract
This article discusses a study on the recovery of consciousness in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). The researchers used functional neuroimaging to investigate changes in brain networks between 1 and 3 months post-injury. They found patterns of hyper- and hypo-connectivity in the brain networks of sTBI patients, indicating network disruption. The study suggests that the restoration of a healthy brain functional segregation is necessary for consciousness recovery after sTBI. The findings highlight the importance of functional neuroimaging in accurately diagnosing and predicting the recovery of consciousness in sTBI patients.
