Abstract

Consciousness, the awareness of self and environment, requires both arousal and mental content; the anatomic substrate includes both reticular activating system and cerebral cortex. coma is a state of unconsciousness that differs from syncope in being sustained and from sleep in being less easily reversed. Cerebral oxygen uptake (cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen [CMRO2]) is normal in sleep or actually increases during the rapid eye movement stage, but CMRO2 is abnormally reduced in coma.
