    Korsakoff's disease, also known as Korsakoff's syndrome or amnesio-confabulatory syndrome, is a brain disorder caused by thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency, most commonly due to chronic alcohol misuse or malnutrition. It is characterized by anterograde amnesia, where new memories cannot be formed, retrograde amnesia resulting in memory loss, and confabulation, where imaginary experiences are recounted. Treatment focuses on thiamine replacement through injections or supplements, abstaining from alcohol to prevent further damage, and improving nutrition.
