From prenatal development to the complexities of aging, it unravels how alcohol interacts with neural networks, neurotransmitters, and cellular processes that govern behavior. Starting with the prenatal period, the book will explore the effects of alcohol on the developing brain, shedding light on the potential cognitive and behavioral consequences that may persist into adulthood. It unravels the intricate mechanisms through which alcohol impacts neurodevelopment, including alterations in brain structure, neuronal connectivity, and synaptic plasticity. Moving into adolescence and early adulthood, the book will examine how alcohol affects crucial brain regions involved in decision-making, impulse control, and memory formation. It will explore the neurological changes associated with excessive alcohol consumption during this sensitive period, offering insights into the long-term risks of alcohol abuse and addiction. Throughout middle adulthood and into later life, the book will delve into the nuanced interplay between alcohol and age-related disorders, including neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Researchers in neuroscience, psychology, and related fields will find this book invaluable for its comprehensive exploration of alcohol's effects on the brain. It is an essential read for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the profound implications of alcohol consumption across the lifespan.PPN: PPN: 1920928146Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SXB
