Transauricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Electroencephalographic Assessment in Disorders of Consciousness

This protocol aims to provide novel methodological insights into non-invasive neurostimulation, specifically transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), in patients with disorders of consciousness. Additionally, a clinical and electroencephalographic analysis protocol is proposed to assess the efficacy of the treatment in this cohort, along with the discussion of relevant ethical...

Conscious and Non-conscious Representations of Emotional Faces in Asperger's Syndrome

An EEG experimental protocol is designed to clarify the interplay between conscious and non-conscious representations of emotional faces in patients with Asperger's syndrome. The technique suggests that patients with Asperger's syndrome have deficits in non-conscious representation of emotional faces, but have comparable performance in conscious representation with healthy...

Anatomical Terminology01:20

Anatomical Terminology

Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

SECONDs Administration Guidelines: A Fast Tool to Assess Consciousness in Brain-injured Patients

These guidelines can be used for the administration of the Simplified Evaluation of CONsciousness Disorders (SECONDs), a short behavioral tool developed to diagnose brain-injured patients in time-constrained settings. This scale examines command-following, communication, visual pursuit, fixation, pain localization, oriented movements and arousal.
