D)Blunted emotions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Korsakoff's patients with confabulation show abnormal activity in the frontal lobe. This region is involved in decision-making, problem-solving, and personality expression, all of which can be affected in Korsakoff's syndrome. While patients may also experience motor incoordination (B) and blunted emotions (D), these symptoms are not necessarily directly related to confabulation. Problems with understanding speech (A) may be present in some cases of Korsakoff's syndrome, but are not specific to confabulation.
