Background Binge alcohol exposure during adolescence results in long‐lasting alterations
in the brain and behavior. For example, adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) exposure in …

Background Alcohol is commonly consumed by adolescents in a binge‐like pattern, which
can lead to long‐lasting cognitive deficits, including reduced behavioral flexibility. We and …

Background Alcohol exposure leads to changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the
brain, which profoundly impacts neuronal plasticity. Perineuronal nets (PN s) are specialized …

Adolescence is a developmental period that encompasses, but is not limited to, puberty and
continues into early adulthood. During this period, maturation and refinement are observed …

Adolescent binge drinking renders young drinkers vulnerable to alcohol use disorders in
adulthood; therefore, understanding alcohol-induced brain damage and associated …

Alcohol consumption in adolescence causes multiple acute negative changes in neural and
behavioral function that persist well into adulthood and possibly throughout life. The medial …

Background: Elucidating mechanisms that underlie the neural actions of ethanol is critical for
understanding how this drug affects behavior. Increasing evidence suggests that, in addition …

Background Human adolescence is a crucial stage of neurological development during
which ethanol (EtOH) consumption is often at its highest. Alcohol abuse during adolescence …

Background Exposure to ethanol (EtOH) in utero alters the disposition of tangentially
migrating GABA ergic interneurons in the fetal brain. The medial ganglionic eminence …

Connectivity of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) matures through adolescence, coinciding with
emergence of adult executive function and top‐down inhibitory control over behavior …
