                                According to a study published in *Neurology*, horizontal nystagmus can be the earliest ocular motor sign of thiamine deficiency. This confirms that a B1 deficiency can indeed cause nystagmus, typically as a component of a serious neurological condition known as Wernicke encephalopathy. Early diagnosis is critical for a positive outcome.
