Loss of cognitive function

Introduction Loss of cognitive neurological function is one of the manifestations of vegetative people. Vegetative patient: The cerebral cortex function is seriously damaged, the victim is in an irreversible deep coma, and the consciousness activity is lost, but the subcortical center can maintain spontaneous breathing and heartbeat. This state is called plant state and is in this state. The patient is called "vegetative."

Cause

The cortical state (also known as vegetative) is a state of special disturbance of the cerebral cortex caused by various causes, while the subcortical function is preserved or partially preserved.

The patient is in a stupor state and has no conscious response to external stimuli. He only retains the lowest level of vital function and certain reflexes such as respiration, nutrient metabolism and excretion and secretion, such as light reflection, corneal reflex and pain evasion. Can be attributed to the category of "coma" in Chinese medicine. At present, there is no effective way for this disease at home and abroad.

Differential diagnosis

Cognitive dysfunction: It is one of psychological disorders, cognitive deficits or abnormalities. Cognition refers to the process in which the human brain receives external information, processes it, and transforms it into an intrinsic psychological activity to acquire knowledge or apply knowledge. It includes aspects such as memory, language, visual space, execution, calculation, and understanding judgment. Cognitive impairment refers to the impairment of one or more of the above cognitive functions. When the cognitive domain has two or more involvement and affects the individual's daily or social ability, it can be diagnosed as dementia.

Cognitive impairment: Cognitive function is a complex process of mental activity. When a person's cognitive function changes, a series of changes, including thinking, emotion, will, and behavior, will occur. People with cognitive impairment have special personality characteristics, such as loneliness, introversion, sensitivity, lack of logic in thinking, and good fantasy. Some people call it a split-like personality or a split-like latent quality (or a susceptibility). In patients with schizophrenia, 50% to 60% of patients have schizophrenic susceptibility.
