- Recent studies highlight improved communication trends regarding the diagnosis and management of NORSE, noting better family satisfaction and increased use of immunotherapy in patient care, reflecting the evolving treatment landscape since recent consensus guidelines.
- Kazazian's work emphasizes the role of advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and functional MRI, in distinguishing states of covert consciousness in unresponsive patients, aiming to enhance ethical considerations in disclosing test results to families.
