Frontal and parietal lobes play crucial roles in understanding the disorder of consciousness: A perspective from electroencephalogram studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies have established many characteristics relevant to consciousness levels of patients with disorder of consciousness (DOC). Although the frontal and parietal brain regions were often highlighted in DOC studies, their electro-neurophysiological roles in constructing human consciousness remain unclear because of the fragmented information from literatures and the complexity of EEG characteristics.

Methods

Existing EEG studies of DOC patients were reviewed and summarized. Relevant findings and results about the frontal and parietal regions were filtered, compared, and concluded to clarify their roles in consciousness classification and outcomes. The evidence covers multi-dimensional EEG characteristics including functional connectivity
