A detailed look at how brain imaging, genetics, and biochemistry illuminate alcohol research.
This edition summarizes FY 1997 activities at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and highlights the work of intramural laboratories.
The report describes in concrete terms how researchers use brain imaging, electrophysiology, and neuropsychology to study alcoholics, those at risk, and matched controls. It also explains new statistical approaches for interpreting brain images from fMRI and PET studies, including Gaussian random field methods and wavelet analysis. Alongside imaging, the volume covers studies on fatty acids, lipid membranes, neurochemistry, and the genetic and molecular tools used to understand alcohol-related behavior.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

This book examines over a century of research that has gone into studying alcoholism, the patterns in its onset, and its profound effects on the brain and body. Research shows how targeting serotonin neurotransmission, examining genetic variants, and studying the social and psychological factors that contribute to alcoholism can help us better understand this complex disease and pave the way for more sensitive and effective prevention and treatment. The author uses decades of research to present a comprehensive collection of knowledge about alcoholism's pervasive effects and potential strategies to address the disease.
