Journal ArticleDOI

Binge ethanol exposure decreases neurogenesis in adult rat hippocampus

Kimberly Nixon, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: These studies are the first to show EtOH inhibition of neural progenitor cell proliferation and survival in the adult, a possible new mechanism underlying alcoholic cognitive dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurogenesis in adolescent brain is potently inhibited by ethanol

Fulton T. Crews, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is indicated that the adolescent brain is very sensitive to acute ethanol inhibition of neurogenesis, and the density of doublecortin immunoreactivity was decreased after 3 days and the number of bromodeoxyuridine+ cells remained decreased at 28 days.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporally specific burst in cell proliferation increases hippocampal neurogenesis in protracted abstinence from alcohol

Kimberly Nixon, +1 more
- 27 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that adult neurogenesis is inhibited during dependence with a pronounced increase in new hippocampal neuron formation after weeks of abstinence, providing a neurobiological mechanism that may underlie the return of human cognitive function and brain volume associated with recovery from addiction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglial activation is not equivalent to neuroinflammation in alcohol-induced neurodegeneration: The importance of microglia phenotype.

S. Alex Marshall, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: Data suggest that the four-day binge model of an AUD does not elicit classical neuroinflammation but instead produces partially activated microglia, which may have beneficial or homeostatic roles rather than directly contributing to neurodegeneration and are a consequence of alcohol-induced-damage instead of the source of damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adolescence: booze, brains, and behavior.

Peter M. Monti, +7 more
- 01 Feb 2005 - 
TL;DR: This article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2004 Research Society on Alcoholism meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, organized and chaired by Peter M. Monti and Fulton T. Crews.
