Transcription of Alcohol and Neurotransmitter Interactions
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
144 ALCOHOLHEALTH& RESEARCHWORLDS cientists have long sought themechanisms by which alcoholacts on the brain to modify be-havior. An important finding is thedemonstration that Alcohol can affectthe function of specific neurotransmit-ters1(Lovinger et al. 1989). Studies ofneurotransmitters and the receptors towhich they bind have provided dataon both the structure and the mecha-nism of action of these molecules aswell as clues to their role in , the function of individualneurotransmitters and their receptorscannot entirely explain a syndrome ascomplex as systems do notfunction in isolation. Therefore, scien-tists are paying increasing attention tothe integration of communicationsystems in the brain.
