Can anybody give me useful information about the onset of the cell death
in Korsakoff patients. Precisely, my question is if the neurons die in a
short period after the critical level of  thiamin deficiency or if their
death is progressive in terms of long-term atrophy until the first
functional symptoms are measurable. Is the amount of atrophy correlated
with the functional deficits?

Thanks,
Tobi
