Alcohol and the brain.

Br J Psychiatry

Institute of Psychiatry, Denmark Hill, London.

Published: May 1990

Some of the major effects of alcohol, and alcoholism, on the brain are reviewed, with reappraisal of evidence drawn from brain imaging, neuropathology, clinical psychology, and laboratory experimental work. A hypothesis is developed which may help to account for the wide variability encountered in individual susceptibility to alcoholic brain damage and its varied manifestations. Therapeutic implications are considered.
