Alcohol blocks a chemical in the brain that focuses our attention, study finds

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Drinking a lot of booze makes it harder to concentrate as alcohol blocks a chemical in the brain responsible for focusing our attention, a new study revealed. Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Centre set out to explain the process in the brain that causes alcohol to make someone less focused. A chemical called norepinephrine is used by the brain to help us pay attention but'acute exposure to alcohol inhibits this signal in the brain', the team found. While it is known that alcohol affects the brain's motor control, leading to people being unsteady on their feet when they walk, this is the first time that research has shown that boozing affects a person's attention span. Study lead, Professor Martin Paukert, said that when attention is needed for a task, norepinephrine is secreted by a brain structure called the locus coeruleus.


Brain circuit that controls compulsive drinking of alcohol has been discovered in mice

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A brain circuit that controls the compulsive drinking of alcohol has been discovered in mice, offering a hope of one day finding a cure for alcoholism in humans. Scientists have long sought to understand why some people are prone to develop drinking problems while others are not. The team's discovery in mice, if translated to humans, may provide doctors a way to reveal whether someone is likely to become a compulsive drinking later in life. Alcoholism is a chronic brain disease in which an individual drinks compulsively -- often accompanied by negative emotions. Whereas previous studies have focused on examining the brain after a drinking disorder develops, the researchers from the Salk Institute in California set out to prove that brain circuits can make some people more likely to be alcoholics.
