TBI and Tau Loss of Function Both Affect Naïve Ethanol Sensitivity in .

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 TBI and whether there are sex-dependent differences in the relationship between TBI and ethanol sensitivity. This study uses the fruit fly to investigate how TBI affects alcohol sensitivity and whether the effects are sex-specific.
