Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Korsakoff's syndrome is marked by severe memory impairments, especially in forming new memories. It is most commonly caused by a prolonged deficiency of thiamine, which is often associated with chronic alcoholism. Lack of oxygen to the brain or breakdown of the blood-brain barrier are not typically associated with Korsakoff's syndrome.
