Self-related processing and deactivation of cortical midline regions in disorders of consciousness

Self-related processing and deactivation of cortical midline regions in disorders of consciousness

Self-related stimuli activate anterior parts of cortical midline regions, which normally show task-induced deactivation. Deactivation in medial posterior and frontal regions is associated with the ability to focus attention on the demands of the task, and therefore, with consciousness. Studies inves...
