TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - The effects of loss versus alteration of consciousness on inhibition-related brain activity among individuals with a history of blast-related concussion JO - Psychiatry research A1 - Matthews, Scott A1 - Simmons, Alan A1 - Strigo, Irina SP - 76 EP - 79 VL - 191 IS - 1 N2 - In this investigation, 27 individuals who experienced blast-related concussion, i.e., brief loss (LOC) or alteration (AOC) of consciousness, performed a stop task during functional magnetic resonance imaging. LOC versus AOC subjects displayed altered ventromedial prefrontal cortex activity, which correlated with somatic symptom severity-findings which may suggest a neural correlate of impaired self awareness after LOC.
