Arousal by stimulation of deep-brain nuclei
Hugh Staunton1
Abstract
Arising from: N. D. Schiff et al. Nature 448, 600–603 (2007); Schiff et al. reply
Schiff et al.1 show that deep-brain stimulation of the unspecific thalamocortical system through certain midline thalamic nuclei produces an alerting effect in a patient in a minimally conscious state. Such nuclei include the central lateral nucleus, paralaminar regions of the median dorsalis, and the posterior–medial aspect of the centromedian/parafascicularis nucleus complex.
