Minimally conscious state or cortically mediated state?

The term ‘minimally conscious state’ (MCS) was introduced to describe complex non-reflexive behaviours in the absence of functional communication. In a critical review, Naccache argues that MCS criteria do not inform us about residual consciousness, but do inform us with certainty about the presence of a Cortically Mediated State (CMS).
