The article discusses about the priority areas for improving medications development for
alcohol use disorder and promoting their routine use in clinical practice. During the past 25 …

Alcohol consumption and addiction remain global health concerns, with significant loss of
productivity, morbidity, and mortality. Drosophila melanogaster, a widely used model …

Dysregulated motivation to consume psychoactive substances leads to addictive behaviors
that often result in serious health consequences. Understanding the neuronal mechanisms …

Fetal alcohol exposure can lead to developmental abnormalities, intellectual disability, and
behavioral changes, collectively termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). In 2015, the …

Consumption of alcohol creates a sense of euphoria, reduces inhibition, and increases
sociability and impulsivity (1). The age at which alcohol is first experienced is a key factor …

When exposed to ethanol, Drosophila melanogaster display a variety of addiction‐like
behaviours similar to those observed in mammals. Sensitivity to ethanol can be quantified by …

Background Prenatal exposure to ethanol can cause fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
(FASD), a prevalent, preventable pediatric disorder. Identifying genetic risk alleles for FASD …

Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful genetic model for investigating the mechanisms
underlying ethanol-induced behaviors, metabolism, and preference. Ethanol-induced …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with alcohol abuse and higher ethanol sensitivity
later in life. Currently, it is poorly understood how ethanol sensitivity changes with time after …

In this review, we highlight sources of alcohols in nature, as well as the behavioral and
ecological roles that these fermentation cues play in the short lifespan of Drosophila …
