The object of this review is to assemble much of the literature concerning Purkinje cell death
in cerebellar pathology and to relate this to what is now known about the complex …

• Morphometric analysis of postmortem brains from chronic ethyl alcohol abusers and
controls was performed to determine the regional distribution and extent of atrophy in the …

A quantitative neuropathological necropsy study of the human cerebral cortex showed that
the number of cortical neurones in the superior frontal cortex in chronic alcoholic patients is …

Local cerebral metabolic rate for glucose was studied utilizing 18F‐2‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐
glucose and positron emission tomography (PET) in 14 chronically alcohol‐dependent …

There are wide ranging effects of alcohol on the nervous system. Some interfere with
physiological and neurochemical functions but ultimately structural damage occurs. During …

Although it is commonly believed that chronic alcohol abuse results in loss of neocortical
neurons, this assumption has not been properly tested. We used new stereological …

Alcohol dependence/addiction is mediated by complex neural mechanisms that involve
multiple brain circuits and neuroadaptive changes in a variety of neurotransmitter and …

The adverse effects of acute and chronic ethanol exposure on cerebellar functions have
been acknowledged for decades, in terms of impaired control of movement and balance. In …

Purkinje cells (PCs) present a unique cellular profile in both the cerebellum and the brain.
Because they represent the only output cell of the cerebellar cortex, they play a vital role in …
