[Coefficient of activation of the brain subcortex structures in a comatose state]
Abstract:
The brain bioelectric activity changes in patients, suffering comatose state, may not be revealed by electroencephalography (EEG) data. This obstacle makes difficult to accomplish the patient functional state estimation and restricts the conducted treatment efficacy. That's why there was elaborated a quantitative diagnostic criterion of EEG--coefficient of a subcortex activation, permitting precisely and objectively to estimate the changes of functional state of the comatose patient brain.

Functional Brain Systems: Reticular Formation
Within the reticular formation, there are several distinct nuclei that can be classified into three broad categories. The Raphe nuclei are located along the midline of the brainstem. They are primarily known for their role in synthesizing and releasing serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The...
