Document Summary
Clinical and pathological features of alcohol-related brain damage zahr. Introduction: alcoholism is an addictive disorder with multifaceted biological underpinnings, the neurological consequences include hepatic encephalopathy, wernicke encephalopathy (we), Korsakoff syndrome (ks) etc: the structural changes to the brain and functional consequences that occur are grouped under the term alcohol-related brain damage (arbd, our objective here is to describe a potential continuum between arbd, we and ks. Indeed, arbd may have two components, one of which is transient and the other permanent. If brain volume loss is due to neuronal loss, brain volume recovery will be incomplete: amnesia observed in ks may be caused by interruption of a complex diencephalic-hippocampal circuitry that includes thalamic nuclei and mammillary bodies. Participants: a group of patients with suspected cte, control group. Insufficient effort was defined as a score below cut off on at least two indices.
