In this review first we evaluate evidence on the role of the neurobiological alterations
induced by chronic ethanol consumption in the development of ethanol tolerance …

Objectives To investigate whether moderate alcohol consumption has a favourable or
adverse association or no association with brain structure and function. Design …

NMDA receptors are glutamate-gated ion channels, mediating excitatory neurotransmission
in the brain. These widely distributed receptors are known to play a role in neuronal …

Alcohol abuse is often accompanied by cognitive impairment. Memory and concentration
problems, especially, are described in neuropsychologically tested abstinent alcoholics …

Thyroid hormone deficiency has long been considered to affect profoundly such cognitive
functions as learning and memory, which are known to depend on the structural integrity of …

Problematic alcohol drinking and alcohol dependence are an increasing health problem
worldwide. Alcohol abuse is responsible for approximately 5% of the total deaths in the …

Chronic ethanol treatment of Wistar rats to 10%(v/v) ethanol over a period of 4, 12, and 36
weeks produced distinct alterations of the glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity …

There is evidence that chronic ethanol treatment (CET) disrupts the biological rhythms of
various brain functions and behaviors. Because the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is …

We have examined if long-term (13 months) alcohol consumption and the same treatment
followed by a 6-week withdrawal period cause different neuropathological changes in rats …

The effects of long‐term alcohol consumption and withdrawal upon the structure of the rat
hippocampal formation were studied by applying morphometric methods to material …
