In a patient that is unresponsive to sensory stimuli and a brain scan of the cerebrum shows no cortical activity the THALAMUS is damaged. The thalamus is a structure of the diencephalon.

The thalamus is a brain structure of the diencephalon (also known as the interbrain) found above the midbrain, near the center of the brain.

The thalamus plays diverse roles which include sensory relay in visual and gustatory systems, motor skills, emotions, memory skills, sensorimotor-associated functions, etc.

The thalamus is also involved in the control of sleep, consciousness, and/or alertness.

What is the purpose of saline
svp [43]
Saline is used for two purposes. One it is sometimes used to wash procedure areas. Second it is used to keep a patient hydrated.

In terms of saline being used for hydration, because water diffuses through permeable membranes to areas of higher to lower concentrations they water would naturally do that in the body. This is super dangerous, if a lot of water enters the body without salt to keep the concentration balance in check. A person may overfill cells with water, and can cause dangerous organ swelling and degradation. That is the purpose of saline.
