STUDIU Alcoolul consumat în adolescență poate afecta creierul pe termen lung chiar și după renunțare • Sănătate Biz Brasov

A study indicates that alcohol consumption during adolescence can lead to long-lasting brain changes, even after abstinence. Research on rats shows that repeated exposure to alcohol disrupts communication in the hippocampus, affecting learning and memory. These changes persist and are linked to adult behavioral issues. The findings highlight the sensitivity of the adolescent brain and suggest a need for further research on the implications for human health. Understanding the role of astrocytes in this context may pave the way for future treatments.
