Severe frontal/parietal degradation typically produces vegetative or minimally conscious states with questionable reportable experience, contradicting retained phenomenal consciousness.

Frontal/parietal degradation(as used in neuroscience and philosophy of mind): Damage or deterioration to specific parts of the brain (the frontal lobe controls thinking and decision-making, the parietal lobe handles sensory information), which can affect consciousness and awareness.
Minimally conscious state(as used in medical philosophy and bioethics): A condition slightly better than vegetative, where a person shows minimal but some signs of awareness or response to their surroundings, though these signs may be inconsistent.
Reportable experience(as used in philosophy of mind): Something you can consciously describe or talk about—the things you're aware of and can put into words.
Vegetative state(as used in medical philosophy and bioethics): A condition where a person is awake but shows no signs of awareness or purposeful responses to their environment, often resulting from severe brain injury.
