Adolescence is a developmental period when physical and cognitive abilities are optimized,
when social skills are consolidated, and when sexuality, adolescent behaviors, and frontal …

Aims: This is a review of preclinical studies covering alcohol-induced brain neuronal death
and loss of neurogenesis as well as abstinence-induced brain cell genesis, eg brain …

New neurons are generated in the adult hippocampus of many species including rodents,
monkeys, and humans. Conditions associated with major depression, such as social stress …

Adult neurogenesis, defined here as progenitor cell division generating functionally
integrated neurons in the adult brain, occurs within the hippocampus of numerous …

Adolescence is a developmental period that coincides with the maturation of adult cognitive
faculties. Binge drinking is common during adolescence and can impact brain maturation …

Research over the last 5 years has firmly established that learning and memory abilities, as
well as mood, can be influenced by diet, although the mechanisms by which diet modulates …

Adolescence is a period of progressive changes in brain that likely contribute to the
maturation of behavior. Human adolescents consume large amounts of ethanol. To …

Alcohol-induced brain damage likely contributes to the dysfunctional poor decisions
associated with alcohol dependence. Human alcoholics have a global loss of brain volume …

Neurogenesis studies on the adult mouse hippocampal subgranular zone (SGZ) typically
report increases or decreases in proliferation. However, key information is lacking about …

Adolescents diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder show neurodegeneration in the
hippocampus, a region important for learning, memory, and mood regulation. This study …
