Researchers at Columbia University analyzed 226 recent comatose patients, observing a third displayed the bursts - a phenomenon scientists call 'sleep spindles.' Brain circuits that are ...

Sleep spindles on electroencephalography (EEG) helped predict whether unresponsive patients with acute brain injury would recover, prospective data showed. In a cohort of behaviorally unresponsive ...

Those fast frequencies, known as sleep spindles, often appeared before the complex method detected hidden consciousness—and before patients awoke or made a long-term recovery. “Spindles happen ...

These bursts-called sleep spindles-often preceded the detection of cognitive motor dissociation with the more complex method, the return of consciousness, and long-term recovery. "Spindles happen ...

Sleep spindles predict recovery In the new study, the researchers looked through EEG recordings of overnight brain activity in 226 comatose patients who also underwent the more complex testing for ...

These bursts—called sleep spindles—often preceded the detection of cognitive motor dissociation with the more complex method, the return of consciousness, and long-term recovery. "Spindles ...

Researchers from Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian discovered that sleep spindles, brief bursts of brain activity, are linked to a better chance of recovery. These signals could change how ...

These bursts of brain activity, called sleep spindles, often preceded the detection of cognitive motor dissociation-- in which a patient appears unresponsive but shows evidence of brain activity ...
