Effect on Neurotransmitters in Alcoholic People

Abstract

It has become easier to study different neurotransducers and their functions with advancements in technology. We can also study the impact of alcohol on these neurotransducers that disrupt the body’s normal functioning. As a result, there seems to be a tendency to have adverse effects on the body due to their malfunctioning. The body has several different pathways for functioning these neurotransducers like glutamate, GABA, serotonin, and dopamine. Some are excitant neurotransducers, and some are interdictory. Both have different reactions when exposed to alcohol for a long or short period. This review paper will briefly introduce what alcoholism is, what it curtails, and the different pathways and how they get blocked by the presence of alcohol in the body. Humans rely on our brain for almost all the activities we carry out daily, whether vital or non-vital. The human body works as an intricate machine. The introduction of a foreign object like alcohol causes the harmony of the machinery to bend out of place and throw everything out of balance. The article explains how our brain acts in the presence of alcohol, not even for a long time but short as well, and is helpful to find a corrective methodic treatment for alcoholism.
