"Alcoholism and the Brain: From Rats to Humans"

 

Résumé

Alcoholism follows a dynamic course, involving development, maintenance, recovery, and relapse. In vivo brain imaging studies have enabled the tracking of this course and have revealed evidence for disruption of selective macrostructural and microstructural brain tissue systems in Alcohol Use Disorders with evidence for improvement with sustained sobriety. Features of brain dysmorphology have been modeled in rodents under controlled conditions exposed to high levels of alcohol with reversal of damage after a week free of alcohol. These studies demonstrate the strength of longitudinal studies using noninvasive MR imaging. (Support: AA05965, AA013521, AA017923, AA021697)
