Regional brain volumetry and brain function in severely brain‐injured patients

Abstract

Brain volumetry at the single-subject level reveals that regions in the default mode network and subcortical gray matter regions, as well as white matter regions involved in long range connectivity, are most important to distinguish levels of consciousness. Our findings suggest that changes of brain structure provide information in addition to the assessment of functional neuroimaging and thus should be evaluated as well. Ann Neurol 2018;83:842-853.
