In this fMRI study of 41 patients in a VS (n = 22) and an MCS (n = 19), a passive language stimulus was used to investigate language networks. Hierarchical language-related fMRI activation patterns correlated with the degree of behavioral recovery 6 months after the fMRI scan.

This study includes the largest cohort of patients with DOC to be assessed with spatial and motor imagery fMRI paradigms (n = 54). Five of 54 patients (all with TBI) had patterns of brain activation during the command-following paradigms that were similar to those of controls, and one patient in an MCS could link the two imagery tasks to "yes" and "no" answers.

In this rs-fMRI study of patients in a coma (n = 5), in a VS (n = 4), in an MCS (n = 4), and with locked-in syndrome (n = 1), the strength of functional connectivity within the DMN correlated linearly with the level of consciousness.
