title: Restoration of thalamocortical connectivity after recovery from persistent vegetative state.
abstract: By use of H2(15)O positron emission tomography we have shown that functional connectivity between intralaminar thalamic nuclei and prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices was altered during vegetative state but not after recovery of consciousness.
