Cortical thinning in young adults with history of heavy drinking since adolescence is linked to altered neurotransmission

During adolescence, the brain undergoes intense development and is particularly susceptible to the deleterious effects of alcohol use. According to findings from a recent follow-up study in Finland, young adults whose heavy drinking began in adolescence have lower cortical gray matter thickness and altered neurotransmission.
