Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome Deciphered by Bioinorganics is a scientific exploration of the biochemical mechanisms underlying this neurological pathology, often associated with vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. The book examines how bioinorganics, as a discipline, enables us to understand the crucial interactions between metals, enzymes and cellular structures involved in this syndrome. By delving into the roles of metal cofactors and biochemical imbalances, this text reveals the molecular processes that lead to severe symptoms such as amnesia, confusion and ataxia. Finally, it offers innovative perspectives for research and avenues for new therapeutic approaches, providing an enriched understanding of this complex disease.
