Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Korsakoff's syndrome is a brain disorder caused by severe deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1) in the body due to alcohol abuse or malnutrition. This results in the degeneration of brain cells, especially in the areas responsible for memory and learning, leading to a reduction in their size. Random branching of neurons or functional separation is not common in Korsakoff's syndrome.
