By Dave Kettner

The person having this state of mind can’t be awakened even with great stimulation and no cure has been developed to recover a person from this state of mind referred to as coma. When a person is in he/she will not respond to any noise or sound or any activity. In coma, the person’s brain does function but at its lowest level of performance. The major causes of can be:

1. Severe injury caused to the brain.
