Lowered levels of consciousness can result from a combination of factors. To understand the level of consciousness, it is essential to know the mechanism of its function and its active sensory inputs.read more »»

Consciousness is the crucial outcome of organizing these sensory inputs, resulting in emotional, cognitive, mental, executive, or other marginally aware states.
