Dysregulation of Central-Medial Amygdala Histone Modifiers in Preclinical Models of Ethanol Exposure.

Summary: How does drinking alcohol change the brain? This review looks at how alcohol affects a part of the brain called the amygdala over time. It studies what happens when alcohol is first used, when it is used a lot, and when a person stops drinking. The researchers found that alcohol changes how genes work in the brain. Understanding these changes might help doctors find new ways to treat people who struggle with alcohol addiction.
