Neurotransmitters in alcoholism: A review of neurobiological and genetic studies PMC
Similarly, glutamate receptors appear to adapt to the inhibitory effects of alcohol by increasing their excitatory activity (Tabakoff and Hoffman 1996; Valenzuela and Harris 1997). Additional studies show a compensatory decrease in adenosine activity following long-term alcohol exposure (Valenzuela and Harris 1997). Dopamine D2 receptor antagonists have been studied in human laboratory studies involving alcohol…
