Popis: OBJECTIVE: We hypothesize that the major consciousness deficit observed in coma is due to the breakdown of long-range neuronal communication supported by precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and that prognosis depends on a specific connectivity pattern in these networks. METHODS: We compared 27 prospectively recruited comatose patients who had severe brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score
