These findings demonstrate that despite the absence of awareness and behavioral responsiveness, sleepers can still extract task-relevant information from external stimuli and covertly prepare for appropriate motor responses.
Here we use an advance neuroelectrical imaging approach to examine the motor cortical responsiveness in human tetraplegia.
In addition, Aldh1a1−/−× Aldh2−/− knockout mice exhibit age-dependent deficits in motor performance responsiveness to levodopa and a significant loss of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH -positive neurons in TH -positiveia neuronsWey et al., 2012).
In animals, the responsiveness by motor function is the main (if not the only part) of consciousness which can be evaluated.
The selectively bred Roman high- and low-avoidance rats differ in emotionality and responsiveness to the motor effects of acute and repeated psychostimulant administration.
Moreover, their reliability, validity, and responsiveness to bulbar motor deterioration are not well established.
Assessment of consciousness during epileptic seizures is generally not a simple topic; it is individually different, not always global, and "pieces" of consciousness (perception, cognition, responsiveness, memory function, motor performance) can be altered [ 10].
Some of the sensory, motor and psychological measures may influence responsiveness to these procedures.
Finally, those in the profound range, comprising the smallest number of intellectually disabled, demonstrate minimal responsiveness, secondary physical handicaps, poor motor development and communication skills, and the ability to perform only highly structured work activities.
We conducted the first longitudinal cohort study to examine the relative responsiveness of several clinical tests of motor and sensory function.
