Drunk Mice Reveal Brain Circuits Involved in Binge Drinking
Pinpointing brain circuits underlying binge drinking offers potential targets to develop interventions and reveals insights about neuronal wiring.
Specific sets of neurons within particular brain regions get activated in response to binge drinking, offering potential targets to develop treatments for compulsive alcohol consumption.
Alcohol consumption can lead to binge drinking and addiction, regardless of the initial intention, whether it's a social drink or a way to unwind.
Gilles Martin studies the neuronal circuits underlying binge alcohol drinking using mice models and techniques such as electrophysiology, optogenetics, and transcriptomics.
Learn about brain circuits and develop interventions for binge drinking.
Author's summary: Research on brain circuits can help develop interventions for binge drinking.
