Alcohol Dependence Can Be Reversed, Rat Study Suggests

A specific group of brain cells appears to drive excessive alcohol drinking, and targeting these cells may reverses alcohol dependence, at least in rats, a new study finds.

In the study, the researchers trained rats how to self-administer alcohol out of a chamber, and caused some rats to become dependent on alcohol. They then injected the rats with a compound that could inactivate, or “turn off” a very specific set of brain cells in an area known as the amygdala.

They found that inactivating these brain cells caused the rats to completely cease their compulsive drinking.
