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).
