The vegetative state is a prolonged non-conditioned state of disorientation and areactivity associated with extensive cerebral hemispheric dysfunction, but the intermediate brain and trunk provide vegetative and motor reflexes, as well as the alternation of the phases of sleep and wakefulness.
Sopor and coma - impaired consciousness due to dysfunction of both hemispheres of the brain or the ascending activating reticular system. Sopor is a state of areactivity from which the patient can only be withdrawn for a short time by intense restimulation.
