Background: Patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) undergoing spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for arousal treatment require an assessment of their conscious state before and after the procedure. This is typically evaluated using behavioral scales (CRS-R), but this method can be influenced by the subjectivity of the physician. Event-related potentials (ERP) and EEG power spectrum are associated with the recovery of consciousness.

Background Human growth and development involve significant changes in bodily dimensions, yet motor learning appears to remain stable throughout life. This study investigates whether adjustments in motor velocity take place as individuals age by examining the latency of transcranial motor-evoked potentials (TcMEPs) across different age groups. Methods Data were collected from 100 patients who underwent surgery with intraoperative neuromonitoring at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2020.

This study aimed to compare the effects of cochlear implantation(CI) on vestibular function in patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome(LVAS) and in patients with extremely severe deafness with normal inner ear structure. A total of 28 LVAS patients and 28 patients with normal inner ear structure who suffered from extremely severe deafness were selected. The parameters of caloric tests, bone conduction evoked cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials(cVEMP), bone conduction evoked ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials(oVEMP) and video head impulse tests(v-HIT) were compared between the two groups before and after CI.
