Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Alcohol facilitates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) function, and GABA type A (GABA(A)) receptor-facilitating agents suppress alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Advances in molecular neuroscience, genetics, and neuroimaging provide new insights into the role of brain GABA systems in short- and long-term alcohol effects. OBJECTIVE: To review the role of brain GABA systems in alcohol response, alcohol dependence,...
