On the Automated Anatomical Labeling-116 (AAL-116) template, a left-lateralized pattern is observed. With regard to the cerebral blood flow (CBF) of single AAL regions separating vegetative state (VS) from minimally conscious state (MCS), the MCS regions were generally left-lateralized. CBF with post-labeled delay (PLD) 2.5 s found more regions of pattern differentiating MCS from VS than with PLD 1.5 s on AAL-116 templates, including the inferior left frontal gyrus, triangular (F3T), temporal pole: middle temporal gyrus (T2P), temporal pole: superior temporal gyrus (T1P), and thalamus (THAL) (as shown by triangles).
