Recent studies by Calgary researchers, neuroscientists at Scripps Research, and other researchers have shown promising strategies for reducing alcohol consumption in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). The studies focus on the effectiveness of psychedelics, neural inhibition, and targeting stress neurons to curb problem alcohol use.
How neural inhibition could reduce alcohol use Neuroscientists at Scripps Research have found that inhibiting neurons involved in the body's stress response may reduce alcohol consumption in people who have both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder… https://t.co/h6mnljcDpJ
New research from Prof. Marisa Roberto's lab shows that suppressing the activity of certain stress neurons may decrease alcohol use—but not anxiety—in comorbid cases of post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorder. Full press release at: https://t.co/mpHbBOhWDk https://t.co/Q17TaJdmvf
