title: [On the concept of lucidity].
abstract: Kraepelin's concept of clarity of awareness (lucidity) had a stable signification during more than hundred years. It is the basis of most of current theories of disturbed consciousness. However, two alternative definitions that arise in Buenos Aires produce confusion due to their conceptual overlap. We discuss these definitions and propose a classification of disorders of consciousness that rely on traditional point of view.
