It encompasses the neural circuits, anatomy & physiology of stupor and coma, differential diagnosis and clinical assessment, imagery, EEGs, therapy/intervention, decision making and prognosis.
- Reviews recent advances in disorders of consciousness
- Provides neural circuits and anatomy of DoC
- Identifies basis for differential diagnosis
- Summarizes best practices for therapy/intervention
- Includes imagery, EEG, evoked potentials of DoC
