| | clouding of consciousness or mental fog | Explanation:
Clouding of consciousness, also known as mental fog[1] [2], is an abnormality in consciousness. The sufferer experiences a subjective sensation of mental clouding described as feeling "foggy" being in a "dreamy state" or feeling "out of it".[3] [4] Pathophysiologically, it is believed to be a manifestation of an abnormality in the regulation of the “overall level” of cortical function, referred to by neurologists as “arousal”.[5] Thus, some authors prefer the more objective term “abnormal level” of consciousness over the subjective term “clouding” of consciousness. In the 1817 German treatise Verdunkelung des Bewusstseins, Greiner first coined and pioneered the term clouding of consciousness as the main pathophysiological feature of delirium.[6]
