The pathogenesis of the amnesic syndrome caused by the use of volatile solvents is due to the direct toxic effects of the solvents on the brain. the solvents are able to disrupt the normal functioning of the brain, leading to a decrease in cognitive functioning, including memory, as well as other mental and behavioural changes. this disruption of brain functioning can lead to the development of an amnesic syndrome, characterized by severe memory impairment and other cognitive deficits.
