Structural brain substrates of the deficits observed on the BEARNI test in alcohol use disorder and Korsakoff's syndrome
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Neuroscience Research"
DOI: 10.1002/jnr.25132
Abstract: Chronic and excessive alcohol consumption can result in alcohol use disorder (AUD) without neurological complications and in Korsakoff's syndrome (KS) when combined with thiamine deficiency. These two clinical forms are accompanied by widespread structural brain… read more here.
