Abstract Synopsis

  • The article discusses patients with brain injuries who appear unresponsive but may actually have hidden awareness, revealed through advanced imaging and detailed motor testing.
  • It introduces the concept of clinical cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), describing patients who show subtle, purposeful motor responses despite seeming unresponsive, and suggests they have better long-term potential than previously thought.
  • The authors propose a new classification approach, including a flowchart and graphical model, to better distinguish between true disorders of consciousness and those with subtle motor signs indicative of covert awareness.]
