Winston ChiongAnnouncing an upcoming panel on probably the most active controversy in <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/bioethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bioethics</a> that people outside medicine (and many within) haven't heard of, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ta</a>-NRP for <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/organdonation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#organdonation</a>. (We're facing decisions about this at <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/UCSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCSF</a> and many other hospitals are also considering their policies.) This is a method for increasing the quantity and quality of organs available for transplantation, but which many critics believe violates the dead donor rule. In ta-NRP circulatory death of the donor is declared, after which perfusion is restored to thoracic and abdominal organs while brain perfusion is (we think) surgically prevented. Ta-NRP is performed in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, and in some centers in the US; is contrary to guidelines in Canada, Australia, and NZ; and has been paused in Belgium and the UK pending further study. At <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Neuroethics2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neuroethics2025</a> in Munich next month we'll host a panel, International Controversies over ta-NRP for Organ Procurement: Brain Perfusion and the Dead Donor Rule, including panelists to share key perspectives from three countries where ta-NRP has been performed, critiquing different conceptions of the role of the brain in circulatory death and how national professional and public norms affect views of this procedure: <ul><li>Karola Kreitmair (Univ. of Wisconsin, US) is a philosopher whose work addresses philosophical arguments regarding ta-NRP and the dead donor rule. </li><li>Amelia Hessheimer (Hosp. Univ. La Paz, Spain) is a transplant surgeon and co-author of the European Society for Organ Transplantation's consensus statement on NRP. </li><li>Alex Manara (N. Bristol NHS Trust, UK) is an intensivist and author of an influential early analysis on ta-NRP and the dead donor rule. </li></ul><a href="https://neuroethicssociety.org/posts/international-controversies-over-ta-nrp-for-organ-procurement-brain-perfusion-and-the-dead-donor-rule/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://neuroethicssociety.org/posts/international-controversies-over-ta-nrp-for-organ-procurement-brain-perfusion-and-the-dead-donor-rule/</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroethics</a>

Winston ChiongA few belated points about the surprising and slightly troubling <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/NEJM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NEJM</a> study (<a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2400645" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2400645</a>) on cognitive motor dissociation in <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/DisordersOfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisordersOfConsciousness</a>, which I think have been underemphasized in the conversation so far:The topline finding was that 25% of patients without observable responses to commands had fMRI or EEG evidence of awareness (physiologically meaningful activity modulation to specific commands). This is quite a bit higher than in earlier, smaller studies, many only using either fMRI or EEG. A very surprising finding to me was in Figure S5. This shows even with the lowest possible bedside CRS-R score of 0, clinically doing nothing at the bedside, someone could have fMRI or EEG evidence of awareness. Some prior literature considers threshold scores in the range of 8 to 10, but the figure suggests that no bedside examination procedure can exclude preserved conscious awareness. This is super-humbling. Also, 25% is really conservative, and almost certainly an underestimate. The fMRI and EEG tasks and statistical thresholds are demanding; maybe because they're from <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/cogsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cogsci</a> research, they're designed to limit the likelihood of false positives. This comes at the cost of many false negatives, as seen in light blue (merely the known false negatives, there are still more undetected false negatives)--these patients follow commands at the bedside but their fMRI and EEG tests are negative. Also, given behavioral variability over time, serial assessments would have revealed more positives. While in science it's a priority to avoid false positives, arguably in the clinical setting false negative findings about consciousness are a bigger problem. And: while this study used formal CRS-R scoring procedures from research, we know that informal clinical diagnoses of coma or the vegetative state are even less sensitive to signs of consciousness than the CRS-R. So overall in clinical settings we can presume there are many more patients falsely assessed as unconscious. I don't do clinical work anymore with patients with disorders of consciousness, but I would take this study as a humbling reminder of how much we still don't know about consciousness and the brain. It reinforces the clinical teaching I received to treat every clinically comatose and vegetative person as if they might be covertly aware. Our bedside examination procedures and these new high-tech tests are highly specific for consciousness but also very insensitive and nonconcordant. Philosophically and conceptually, there's important work to be done to design more sensitive and less stringent indicators of awareness, and to think more about the balance to strike between false positive and false negative findings in tests for these patients.<a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/bioethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bioethics</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroethics</a>

Dana FoundationConditions like traumatic brain injury or obsessive-compulsive disorder may interfere with an individual’s personal identity. Authors in this article from The Hastings Center contend that for people with such conditions, continued treatment with deep-brain stimulation after a clinical trial ends can benefit the participant, and a failure to provide continued access could be understood to represent a metaphorical identity theft. <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/clinicaltrials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clinicaltrials</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/neuroethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroethics</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/brainresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brainresearch</a> <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hast.1567" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hast.1567</a>

Winston ChiongHappy to share our <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/NewPaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewPaper</a> on experiences of patients undergoing <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/epilepsy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epilepsy</a> surgery, comparing traditional resective surgery to <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/NeuroPace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeuroPace</a> responsive neurostimulation, using interviews and ethnographic observation of patient visits. First, we documented circuitous treatment paths described by patients and caregivers as "winding," "confusing," and "chaotic." In two of our participants, continual ECoG recordings from an implanted RNS device enabled the detection of a single seizure focus for subsequent resective surgery. Second, RNS was perceived with greater safety, viewing the act of "putting in" a device as reversible in contrast with the irreversibility of "taking out" brain tissue in a resection. Third, evaluation of postoperative course reflected different aims and expectations, with resection understood in "all-or-nothing" terms such that any post-operative seizure was perceived as a failure, while patient expectations in RNS were more incremental. <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroethics</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> at <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S152550502400088X" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S152550502400088X</a>
