Scientific evidence Alcohol Can Damage the Brain

Scientific evidence Alcohol Can Damage the Brain

As you can see, the brain alcohol on the right is the brain of alcoholics who shrink massively because of the loss of brain cells. Brain cells turned out to dissolve.

Of the 2007 study that appeared in the European Journal of Neuroscience:

These findings indicate that exposure to ethanol party pattern during adolescence induces brain damage by the inflammatory process and cause long-term consequences neurobehavioural [damage to the mental health / behavioral]

According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 1 in 10 Americans meet standard diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders.

The study comes from Carol Ann Paul [from Wellesley College] and colleagues. They looked at MRI brain scans of 1839 people aged 34-88, and their findings [presented at the American Academy of Neurology 59th Annual Meeting in Boston in May 2007] showed that the more a person a lot of chronic alcohol intake, the more your brain is reduced in volume.

The results held true even for moderate drinkers [not too much to drink / occasionally drink alcohol].

There is a strong correlation constant between alcohol consumption and total brain volume. It seems that there is no beneficial effect even small amounts of alcohol also affect the brain volume.

Another study, released May 10, 2007 revealed alcohol can also cause lung damage periodically, making the heart beat faster rhythm of the heart and is a very strong risk factor for stroke.
