About the course

In this module, we will examine how alcohol affects the brain at a structural level.

We will also look at:

  • which brain areas are involved in mediating the effects of alcohol,
  • the processes involved in dependency,
  • the neuropharmacology involved in mediating the key effects of alcohol,
  • neuroadaptations with chronic use and withdrawal,
  • the underlying psychopharmacology of pharmacotherapeutic strategies,
  • how neuroimaging has been used to characterise the neurobiology of alcoholism.
