Alcohol can affect several parts of the brain, but, in general, contracts brain tissues, destroys brain cells, as well as depresses the central nervous system. Excessive drinking over a prolonged period of time can cause serious problems with cognition and memory. Alcohol interacts with the brain...
Background: Pleasure and reward are critical features of alcohol drinking that are difficult to measure in animal studies. Intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) is a behavioral method for studying the effects of drugs directly on the neural circuitry that underlies brain reward. These experiments had...
Although previous reviews underscore the potential negative consequences of heavy alcohol use on the brain and cognition in adolescence, they do not typically address the question of whether adolescents are differentially vulnerable compared to adults to the effects of alcohol on these outcomes. Explicit...
In recent years, some new processes have been proposed to explain how alcohol may influence behavior, psychological symptoms and alcohol seeking in alcohol-dependent subjects. In addition to its important effect on brain and neurotransmitters equilibrium
Alcohol interacts with many neurotransmitter systems, including the endogenous system, which influences the mesolimbic system and is believed to be central to drug-induced reward. These observations emphasize the need to further characterize the alcohol-opioid system link. Two important clinical studies ha...

Becoming dependent on alcohol can lead to challenges for both the mind and the body. What does alcohol do to the brain? Heavy drinking can fuel changes in the brain—about half of people who meet the criteria for alcoholism show problems with thinking or memory, research suggests. The ...
