Limbic-predominant amnestic neurodegenerative syndrome (LANS) is a newly recognized memory condition that is distinct from Alzheimer's disease and primarily affects the limbic system, leading to a slow, amnestic, and predominantly neurodegenerative syndrome.


LANS, a memory-affecting syndrome, is often mistaken for Alzheimer's but progresses slowly and primarily affects the limbic system.
