About this listen

A recent study investigated how acute alcohol consumption impacts the brain, focusing on the glutamate system using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and the mGluR5 receptor. Results indicated that even moderate drinking can reduce mGluR5 availability and increase blood flow in various brain areas, highlighting the complex effects of alcohol and the challenges of recovery from addiction. This research emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes for careers in addiction counseling and behavioral health.
