Korsakoff syndrome: determination of patterns associated with the consumption of alcohol in higher level students of the UAEH-ESH
Abstract
Korsakoff syndrome is a disease caused by alcoholism and the most frequent cause of amnesia. Memory and learning are especially affected. The alterations manifest as anterograde amnesia (create new memories). There may also be retrograde amnesia (difficulty accessing memories of the past). Globally and mainly in the Huasteca region, alcohol consumption is a Public Health problem. A population sensitive to this phenomenon are teenagers or young adults. Due to the high consumption of intoxicating beverages in Huejutla de Reyes Hidalgo city, this research will be carried out to identify patterns associated with alcohol consumption and detect possible consequences in memory and learning in higher-level students of the Autonomous University of Hidalgo State - Huejutla High School.
