Of patients who had both sleep spindles and cognitive motor dissociation, 76% showed evidence of consciousness by the time they were discharged from the hospital, the researchers ...

New research suggests certain sleep patterns can help predict whether comatose patients will regain consciousness.

Summary: A new study finds that sleep spindles—bursts of brain activity during sleep—may predict recovery in unresponsive ...

The presence of a pattern called a sleep spindle helps to predict which people will recover from an unresponsive state.

For the first time, researchers have been able to observe how the pupils react during sleep over a period of several hours. A ...

ETH Zurich researchers found that pupil size changes during sleep, indicating shifts in brain activity. This could help ...

These bursts of brain activity, called sleep spindles, often preceded the detection of cognitive motor dissociation -- in ...

The sleep patterns of brain injury patients could hold the key to identifying the likelihood of long-term recovery, researchers say.

For the first time, researchers have been able to observe how the pupils react during sleep over a period of several hours. A look under the eyelids showed them that more happens in the brain during ...
