Homeostatic plasticity in patients with disorders of consciousness detected by combined stimulation: a study protocol
Studying whether homeostatic plasticity is preserved in patients with DoC is beneficial for gaining a better understanding of their brain condition. If the homeostatic plasticity of patients with DoC is impaired, then NIN, which are based on altering synaptic plasticity in healthy individuals to achieve stimulating effects, may not be directly translatable to the therapeutic interventions for patients with DoC. Instead, the homeostatic plasticity of patients should be restored before implementing the intervention.
